Season 1 : Great Escapes, and Some Not So Great Attempts Here on this page you will have the chance to learn a little history dealing with some well thought out plans of escape, and some not so bright attempts. From the infamous down to the just plain stupid characters of the real world of Prison Break. Case File 001 Name: Ferneckes, Henry aka ‘Midget’ Source: Suburban Chicago Newspaper Henry "Midget'' Ferneckes, a bank robber and killer, pulled off one of the most clever escapes used at the old prison on Collins Street. Midget, who earned his nickname because of his 5-foot-4-inch height, had 10 years of time behind the walls when he escaped one Saturday afternoon in 1935. The little convict, who was described as brilliant, had a plan that took pure guts to pull off. But he had been planning the escape for months. Midget, who worked in the prison fiber shop, had closely observed the visiting procedure used in the prison. He bleached a prison uniform white, grew an unauthorized mustache under a bandage on his upper lip and somehow obtained a pair of contraband sunglasses. On the afternoon of Aug. 3, he pulled off the bandage and put on the sunglasses and his white clothing. He then walked through two barred gates as a civilian and entered the front gatehouse. He handed a note carrying the name of a convict who was housed in Stateville to the guard. The guard gave Midget directions on how to get to Stateville from the old prison. Midget walked out of the old prison as a free man without saying one word. Prison officials originally thought the little convict was hiding somewhere inside the prison after he was discovered missing. But four guards eventually lost their jobs because of the escape. A few days after the escape, the warden received a letter. "You were all good to me,'' it said. "Too many men was my reason for escaping. However, I like Joliet and am hereabouts. Why does the governor offer a $1,000 reward for me and only $50 for anyone else who escapes?'' The letter was signed Midget. But the warden wasn't sure if Midget wrote the letter or not. The little convict was known for writing letters to officials. |
