Imagine it is the early 1800s, and you are in a penal colony.  The conditions were horrible, and you worked your fingers to the bone.  Would you try to escape for freedom?  If you would, what would you sacrifice for that freedom?

For the men you are going to hear about today, that included cannibalism.  

So, set the table, my spooky friends.  You are going to hear about two men who broke the final taboo.  But before we start, here is a little heads-up.  Today, we will be talking about cannibalism and graphic murders.  Listener discretion is advised.
