As we record this episode, a prison break is actively unfolding at the Orleans Parish Justice Center in New Orleans. Ten inmates made a dramatic escape through a hole behind a toilet, sparking questions about security lapses. Some have already been recaptured, but others are still at large.
You can follow the ongoing developments of this current escape here. But while we're following this real-time event, we're also diving into some of the most daring (and sometimes outlandish) prison break stories in history.
From attempted escapes that didn’t quite work out, to prisoners who put their creativity to the test in ways we never imagined, join us as we explore these wild, yet somewhat relatable, escapes. It’s a tale of attempted freedom, some questionable planning, and a few lessons on why you should probably leave it to the professionals when it comes to breaking out of jail.
