Al Capone’s cell at the Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, PA.
Feb. 14, 1929 | Al Capone Gang Wages St. Valentine’s Day Massacre
“The massacre greatly diminished Moran’s gang and made Capone the undisputed king of the Chicago underworld. However, it also made him a target for federal authorities. In May 1929, he was arrested and sent to prison for nine months on a weapons charge. In 1931, he was convicted of tax evasion, for which he received an 11-year sentence that essentially ended his reign as a gang leader.”
