Meet Allen
Allen West had also been convicted of crimes such as robbery and grand larceny. He’d tried escaping before and had charges filed in many states. At the time, he was sentenced to life in prison and was much more violent than the others. The trio ended up leaving him behind!
Preparing to Escape
All four members of this team weren’t initially considered violent, so the guards didn’t watch them as closely as they otherwise would have. Therefore, they had a bit more privacy. This was good because they needed supplies unavailable to inmates to make the escape.
