In 1945, twelve men escaped Eastern State through a 97-foot tunnel underneath the penitentiary. Among them was Willie Sutton, one of the most well-known bank robbers of the era. The tunnel was outfitted with lights, ladders, and a disguised entrance. Although all twelve men were eventually recaptured, the story remains a defining chapter in the prison’s history.
