Prohibition during the 1920s made for great business within the Chicago Mob, but what did these outlaws do when the police got too close? They took a vacation to Wisconsin of course! Mobsters and Gangsters Like Al Capone, Jimmy Hoffa, Baby Face Nelson, and John Dillinger all used Wisconsin as a hideout to take a break from their criminal ways... sort of. Listen to find out more and how the FBI had a botched raid to capture some of these criminals. Let us know what you think on Facebook, Instagram, or send an email badgerlandjournal@gmail.com
