Many (about 36) had tried escaping:
- John Paul Scott in 1962
- John Giles in 1945
- John Standig in 1935
- Morris and the Anglins in 1962
- Cole and Roe in 1937

but officially no one did it.

Hes wrong
his facts are straight but no
3 men tried to escape one rainy night and 2 died and 1 made it as it goes he was seen but never caught

Sure! Clint Eastwood did...

Mr.12guage is also wrong. 12 people tried to escape. 5 have dies, 4 recaptured, and three escaped.
