About the Prison itself-
The drama of tough guys who dreamed of gaining freedom from behind the
walls of the two prisons at Joliet has been played out on the front pages
of the Herald News for decades. These desperate men dug tunnels, built
crude ladders, braided ropes, poisoned guards' coffee, smuggled in guns
and took hostages in attempts to regain their lost freedom. But only a
few of
them ever
succeeded in actually getting away. Instead, their failed plans became
front page for this newspaper, which has preserved that news on microfilm.
