Impossible Prison Escapes

From the creator

Writing in 1935, an ex-prisoner wrote: ‘if, that is, society’s real object [through prisons] is the reformation of the criminal—precious little progress will be made through the efforts of the present crop of wardens.’ These words were written by the same man who long-jumped 10 ft from the highest roof of Charlestown State Prison in Massachusetts, to escape to another building when he was only twenty-two. In 2012, Choi Gap-bok so vehemently believed he was framed after his arrest, that he chose to starve himself to fit through his tiny food slot of his cell. Watch how some of these most remarkable prisoners hatched and carried out their ingenious escapes, including other notorious figures such as Ted Bundy, El Chapo, as well as an account of the bloodiest escape attempt in history.
