Then Erika covers the famous story of how 3 inmates attempted and managed to escape the most secure prison in the world.  Frank Morris, John Anglin and Clarence Anglin, were all serving their prison sentences on the Rock a.k.a. Alcatraz.  With Morris in charge they planned their escape for months before finally executing the very well thought out plan.   THe whole thing was beyond creative and its incredible how they pulled this stunt off.  The even crazier thing is that once they escaped, they just vanished.  Still to this day the question is did the 3 men, die in the San Francisco Bay or did they manage to just blend in to the world without being noticed and live their best lives, no one knows.  So listen in while Erika goes over one of the most famous prison escapes and the men who got away with it.

Erika was drinking 19 Crimes Martha's Chard - Chardonnay, its very good but a little sweet for her taste.
