Checking against the GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * "was a convicted counterfeiter whose death is closely tied to Old Newgate Prison after fatally falling during an escape attempt the night before the close of the prison" - sentence is quite choppy and could do with a split
 * "Starkey was from Roxbury, Massachusetts" - shouldn't this be born?
 * "but they were finally discovered the secret" - grammatically incorrect

I done some copyediting if that's OK. I noted a couple of prose issues above, but nothing serious enough for this to be put on hold. Article is a little short but acceptable for something as scarce as this. Sounds like the Shawshank Redemption! JAG UAR   20:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
