- Miran Edgar Thompson (December 16, 1917 – December 3, 1948) was an inmate of Alcatraz whose participation in an attempted escape on May 2, 1946, led to his execution in the gas chamber of San Quentin. At the time of the Battle of Alcatraz, Thompson was serving life plus 99 years for murder of Texan police officer Detective Lemuel Dodd Savage, 52. He also pulled armed robberies in New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma. He had notoriously bad luck when getting caught, but extremely good luck at escaping from jail. He had been arrested eight times and held in small jails, and had escaped every time. Thompson had a record of eight escapes from custody by the time he was transferred to Alcatraz in October 1945. Detective Savage was shot and killed while transporting Thompson and Elbert Day to jail. Savage had arrested the two when he found them burglarizing a store. He searched the two suspects before transporting, but missed a handgun hidden in Thompson's pants. During the transport, Thompson produced the gun and shot Savage. As Thompson fled, he kidnapped a woman, Betty Jim Shelton, before he was apprehended. Thompson was convicted of federal kidnapping charges. He was then tried on a state murder charge for killing Savage. The jury convicted Thompson of murder, but spared his life in a 7-5 vote, and he was sent to Alcatraz Prison. While in Alcatraz, Thompson was part of the Battle of Alcatraz, an escape attempt that ultimately left Correctional Officer Harold Stites and Correctional Officer William Miller, of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, dead from gunshot wounds.

- Miran Edgar Thompson (Amarillo, 16 dicembre 1917 – Carcere di San Quintino, 3 dicembre 1948) è stato un criminale statunitense.Era stato condannato a 99 anni di reclusione a seguito di rapine e per aver sparato con una pistola contro il sergente Lemuel Dodd Savage, agente di polizia, ad Amarillo, Texas. Il sergente Savage fu colpito mentre portava Thompson e un altro criminale, Elber Day, in prigione. Savage li aveva arrestati mentre stavano scassinando un negozio. L'agente perquisì i due sospetti, ma non notò una pistola nascosta nei pantaloni di Thompson, che gli sparò per poi abbandonare la pistola. Nella fuga Thompson rapì altre tre persone prima di essere arrestato. Savage sopravvisse, riuscendo a tornare dalla moglie e dai 3 figli. Scontando la condanna, Thompson aveva collezionato un record di otto fughe da diverse prigioni, e per questo fu trasferito ad Alcatraz, nell'ottobre 1945. Qui, Thompson prese parte ad un ennesimo tentativo di fuga, uccidendo con un'arma da fuoco gli ufficiali William Miller e Harold Stites, sulle loro rispettive scrivanie, episodio che determinò la sua condanna a morte nel 1948, per duplice omicidio.
