[post_page_title]John and Alfred Anglin[/post_page_title]
Alfred and John Anglin were brothers and grew up in Donalson, Georgia alongside their eleven siblings. Their parents worked seasonally on farms, so the family traveled around a lot to provide income. As children, the brothers would amaze friends by being able to swim in freezing Lake Michigan when the family ventured north. The siblings began lives of crime in 1953, robbing banks without the use of a weapon. They were detained and imprisoned in Georgia, and after trying to escape many times were relocated to Alcatraz in 1960.
