Apparently this is the first successful escape from this facility.
Somehow I wonder if that is true. I have a vague memory of another escape from Dannemora. Maybe it was an escape of a trustee. I’m going to check.
Looks like there may have been an escape from Dannemora in 1914.
Ebay was selling a poster: “Up for auction is a 1914 Reward Poster for Escape from Clinton Prison in Dannemora New York for a Mr George Vogan. It measures 8.25 x 12.75 inches and is in nice condition with mailing folds and a couple edge tears”
