Catch Me If You Can: The Joan Little Hustle

When Joan Little walked out of that North Carolina jail cell in 1974, she didn’t just make a run for it — she rewrote the rules. In this episode of The Black Docket, we dive into Joan’s wild escape story: the mattress hideouts, the crooked cops offering bribes, and the homemade disguises that would make Hollywood jealous. How do you stay frozen under a mattress while a cop literally sits on top of you? Joan figured it out — and we’re still trying to catch our breath.Get ready for courtroom drama, jailbreak genius, and a story that proves sometimes the best weapon is your wit (and a really good wig). Press play — freedom’s calling.
