Blocking Out the Noise
Incredibly, the vigilant guards were oblivious to the rhythmic chipping and banging of the industrious inmates. This seemingly impossible feat was made possible by the progressive prison reforms of the 1960s. These reforms, in their wisdom, granted inmates an hour of musical indulgence. During this cacophonous hour, the prison would reverberate with melodies, providing the perfect cover for the inmates’ clandestine activities.
Whenever the opportunity arose, Morris would whip out his trusty accordion. The melodious symphony of its keys was not just a testament to his musical prowess, but a clever ruse. It provided a perfect cover for the clandestine activities of his gang, their diligent toil drowned in the sea of his captivating tunes. The accordion was not just an instrument to Morris, it was a crucial accomplice in their crafty schemes.
