He was Inmate A-45200. Twenty years old. A father. A thief. The cops found stolen evidence hidden under his infant daughter's blanket.
He'd escaped 17 times. Watched friends walk to the gas chamber. He was becoming a ghost.
Then one concert changed everything.
???? Case File: A-45200
???? San Quentin State Prison
???? January 1, 1959
