Escape from Alcatraz

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE PRIVATE SERIES!

I remember when I was a little girl, I saw the movie Escape from Alcatraz on HBO.  That image down there it really scared the heck out of me!  Escaping from Alcatraz was probably much harder than escaping from the fictional Brenda T. Trumbell Correctional Facility for Women from which one Ariana Osgood makes her very clever escape in Privilege.  Ariana, once a feared and reviered Billings Girl was of course, sent to prison for the murder of Thomas Pearson and the attempted murder of Reed.  Ariana doesn't give up though and I was rather impressed by the careful planning that led her to escape from Brenda T. and start a new life, first in Dallas, TX and then....well, the world.  I really liked this first book and will definately be reading more in the series.
