Well, they're IN this book - though not the main characters:
Dead Run: The Shocking Story of Dennis Stockton and Life on Death Row in America (Paperback)
by Joe Jackson
"However, the authors are beguiled by the great escape from Mecklenburg Correctional Center and dwell lovingly on its every detail. I'm afraid that I am not as impressed by this as the authors obviously were. There is some lionizing of the escapers, especially the singularly unattractive Briley brothers. The reality is that the escape was only possible because of the extraordinary stupidity of the corrections officers. Yes - the inmates had a fair degre of low cunning, but I would not elevate that to the degree of intelligence the authors imply they possessed."
and there's this one:
Long Gone
The Mecklenberg Six and the Theme of Escape in Black Folklore
Dance, Daryl Cumber
"As she recreates the notorious escape of the Briley brothers, Dance looks over Black history in America, documenting the popularity of the theme of escape and the folk responses to the Black man on the run.
This book is enhanced by a variety of photographs, cartoons, and "wanted" posters, and the story of the notorious escape from death row is replete with drama, suspense, irony, tragedy, and comic relief. "
