Meet Frank Lee Morris

Frank Lee Morris has earned a reputation for his great mind. At the age of 11, he became an orphan and started to move from one foster home to the next. He learned independence and self-reliance during those years. However, he had a penchant for getting into trouble. When he was 13, he got convicted of a crime for the first time. Despite everything, no one could have predicted that he would be the mind behind the greatest escape attempt from Alcatraz prison.

His First Escape

As he grew up, Frank Lee Morris continued to take part in criminal activities. He spent some time in prisons all over the country, even ending up in the “Alcatraz of the South” in Louisiana. He had been serving a decade for bank robbery when he escaped from the state penitentiary. He evaded the police for nearly a year until they captured him in the middle of yet another robbery. They arrested and put him away… this time, he was headed for Alcatraz.
