The most famed escape attempt was that of Frank Lee Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin. In 1962, a fellow inmate named Allen West, helped the trio devise a clever plan to construct a raft, inflatable life vests and human dummies to fool guards during the routine counts. Over the course of several months, the inmates fabricated the dummies and used special tools stolen from various prison work sites to chip away at the vent.
