THE (ALMOST) GREAT ESCAPE Donald Caylor was one of six infamous inmates who jumped the wall with James Earl Ray in a notorious escape attempt in 1977. Amazingly, he wasn't the only Caylor determined to bust out of Brushy. Donald's brother Frankie devised his own clever escape plot - and it almost succeeded. Donning an officer's uniform that he had scored from the laundry, Caylor managed to shimmy his 1301b 5'6" frame past the first trap door gate and through the small commissary window. Patiently waiting an hour for the next guard shift change, he slipped on a pair of shades and pretended to read the newspaper while quietly filing out with a group of guards. Caylor managed to make it outside the max-security gate before a guard recognized him. He was rewarded for his effort with a stint in "The Hole" and extra time in the slammer.
