The 1962 Escapees – The Anglin Brothers
The Anglin Brothers: John and Clarence
Meet John and Clarence Anglin, the brotherly duo with a flair for bank heists. Their criminal career and brotherly bond made them a formidable pair. Alcatraz thought it had them locked down, but the Anglin brothers were already dreaming of their next big escape. Known for their close-knit relationship and coordinated efforts, they quickly became key players in Morris’s escape plan, bringing their own skills and determination to the table.
Their Criminal Backgrounds
The Anglin brothers weren’t just small-time crooks; they were part of a gang that hit banks like it was a hobby. Their frequent escapes from other prisons landed them in Alcatraz, where they met Morris and cooked up the ultimate breakout plan. Their criminal past and experience with escaping made them invaluable members of the team, and their shared history only strengthened their resolve to break free from Alcatraz.
