Memorials of a prison break and a doomed gamble for freedom
Pending appeal at the supreme court, six inmates led a major jailbreak from Wall County jail. Roa, Torrez, and Riz zo escaped after clashing with guards, while the others were recaptured or killed in subsequent pursuits. The fugitives fled to Chicago before returning to face justice as the court denied a new trial.
