31. Manson was sent to another juvenile facility, but escaped to spend weeks breaking the law
The law caught up with Manson within a few weeks, after he was caught riding a stolen bike. The sympathetic judge sent him to the famous Boys Town facility, the subject of a Hollywood movie starring Mickey Rooney, but after just 4 days inside, Manson and an accomplice escaped, stole a car, and committed a few armed robberies. The youngsters eventually wound up committing burglaries on behalf of the other boy’s Fagin-like uncle. On their third job, they were caught escaping through a skylight, and arrested. Manson escaped the very same night, letting 30 others free with him.
