Escaping from the Mecklenburg Correctional Center in Richmond, Virginia, was meant to be impossible

Description

But on May 31st, 1984, the vast, $20 million complex was breached by six of America’s worst killers – including the notorious Briley brothers James and Linwood.

Al Capone was frequently photographed smiling – and no wonder. The ruthless prohibition-era gangster made millions of dollars out of his criminal operation and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle to boot. Read all about his extraordinary life in this months Master Detective.
