Who is Henri Young?

Henri Theodore Young was a prisoner at Alcatraz who attempted to escape with four other inmates, Arthur Barker, Dale Stamphill, William Martin, and Rufus McCain. He was quickly recaptured and placed in solitary confinement. After his release he killed McCain. His subsequent trial led to questions about the way Alacatraz was run.

Young is best known for the highly fictionalized version of his life story in the movie Murder in the First, in which he was portrayed by Kevin Bacon.
