Women Who Escaped From Prison

Deborah Gavin
In 1974, Deborah Gavin escaped from the Georgia’s Women’s Correctional Institution in Baldwin County, Georgia. Gavin was serving time after being convicted for armed robbery. She had successfully escaped the prison multiple times but was always quickly recaptured—until this time. After escaping, she moved to Frankston, Texas, where she married, had two children, and worked as a nurse. She was going by the name Deborah Murphy. 33 years after leaving the prison, authorities found out where she was living and arrested her.
