The Big Squeeze

In the covert shadow of May 1962, the Anglin brothers and Morris, through painstaking determination, had burrowed their way through the unforgiving cell walls. The holes they carved were narrow, barely enough to accommodate their determined escape. Squeezing their bodies through this arduous passage, they knew it was all that was required to attain freedom.

Resourcefulness became their ally as they meticulously crafted lifeboats and vests from 50 raincoats, defying the treacherous cold waters that awaited them. With each stitch, they wove the fabric of their destiny, their escape plot progressing from the realm of audacity into the impending reality of the San Francisco Bay’s tumultuous waters.
