René Belbenoît
René Belbenoît ((:ʁəne bɛlbənwa); April 4, 1899 – February 26, 1959) was a French prisoner on Devil's Island who successfully escaped to the United States. He later published a memoir, ''Dry Guillotine'' (1938), about his exploits.
==Early life==

When René was 12, his grandparents died suddenly and he, again in need of a parental figure, went to Paris where he lived with, and worked for, his uncle at a popular nightclub, the ''Café du Rat Mort'' (the Dead Rat) in the Place Pigalle. During World War I, Belbenoît served with distinction in the French Army from 1916 – 1917, and survived the Battle of Verdun. After the war, Belbenoît began working in a restaurant in Besançon as a dishwasher for eight francs a day with room and board. After working there just eleven days, he seized a moment to steal a wallet full of 4000 francs and a motorcycle and left Besançon for Nantes. Belbenoit quickly found work as a valet in the Chateau Ben Ali owned by the Countess d'Entremeuse. Although a gracious employer, Belbenoît again, seizing an opportunity, stole the Countess' pearls and some money from her dressing table, after only working at the Chateau for a month. Belbenoit then escaped on a train for Paris. After being in Paris but two days, he was promptly arrested by two policemen for the theft of the pearls. This theft would be the crime that would send him to the French Penal Colony in French Guiana, also incorrectly known as Devil's Island. Belbenoît himself never served any time on Devil's Island.
