John Herbert Dillinger (June 22, 1903-July 22, 1934) was an American bank robber, considered by some to be a dangerous criminal, while others idealized him as a Robin Hood. His exploits, along with Bonnie & Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelley, Barker Gang and others, dominated the attention of American newspapers, radio and law enforcement. John Dillinger served 9 years in the Indiana penal system before the majority of Americans ever heard of him. Most of the residents living in his hometown signed and presented a petition requesting his early release from prison. Little did they know, during the next 14 months after his release, he would become more famous than the President of the United States during that era. Inmate #13225 John Herbert Dillinger reveals dates, times and events that ultimately cost the lives of 11 law enforcement personnel and several innocent people. In addition, Dillinger was instrumental in one of the most daring prison escapes in penal history.
