At the time of the breakout, the reported ringleader of the Texas Seven, 30-year-old George Rivas, was serving 18 consecutive 15-to-life sentences. George Rivas was sentenced to death after being extradited to Texas. Subsequently, the other five surviving members of the Texas 7 were also sentenced to death along with Rivas.
