These are the 10 craziest prison escapes of all time. El Chapo tunnneled beneath a maximum security prison into a home nearly a mile away and escaped inside Mexico's most secure prison. Waqin El Chapo Guzman is locked in his cell. It's just after 8:50 p. m. and surveillance cameras show him pacing slowly, then heading toward the shower area in the corner of the room. 25 minutes later, guards realize El Chapo hasn't reappeared. They rush down the corridor and swing open the heavy steel cell door to find his bed neatly made and his belongings untouched. Panic sets in as a guard scan the room until one of them looks down at the shower floor. Cut directly into the concrete is a rectangular hole. Just enough space for an adult's shoulders to squeeze through. At the bottom, a narrow tunnel stretches forward. Electric lights line the ceiling. Air ducts run along the walls, pumping fresh oxygen through the passage. Sitting in the middle of the tunnel, a motorcycle mounted on rails. It's coated in dust, suggesting it was used for months to haul dirt and construction materials out of the tunnel. As they follow the passage, another realization sets in. The tunnel runs with pinpoint accuracy directly beneath the prison showers. A level of precision that suggests access to blueprints, security routines, and almost certainly help from someone inside the prison. The tunnel runs nearly a mile, ending beneath an unfinished house in a neighborhood called Santa Huanita. Yoshi Shiroui escaped prison four times. But this time, it was almost impossible because he was watched at every hour. It's winter 1942 and Yoshi Shiroui has just been transferred to Ashabiri prison in northern Hkaido, Japan's northernmost prison. Inside one of Japan's harshest prisons, Yoshi Shitori is chained to the floor with custom-made handcuffs. The only time they're ever opened is when a specialist comes once a week to bathe him, and even then it takes over 2 hours to unlock. Before this, Shiroui escaped prison two times. The first was done by picking his cell lock using a metal wire from a bathing bucket, then slipping out through a cracked skylight, leaving a decoy in his bed so guards wouldn't notice. In the second escape, they put him in what was supposed to be an escape proof cell. But night after night, he climbed up and quietly worked the rotting wood around the skylight until the frame finally broke. The guards watch him for hours a day. The only time he's not being directly watched is when he's reading and when they give him food. Over the next 2 years, Shiratori takes the miso soup from each of his meals and pours it on the links of his handcuffs. Over time, the salt begins to corrode his handcuff links until one cold evening. The chains break apart with his hands free. He now faces another problem. The door to his cell only has a food slot, which is impossibly small. He slips his shoulders through and turns them on an angle, dislocating them. He pushes his body through and falls to the cold, hard concrete. He slides his body forward in agony, but eventually is able to get to his feet. He slips past the prison guards, climbs the wall, and escapes into a nearby mountain. It's 9:30 p. m. at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. Four prisoners begin their escape. Frank Morris, John England, Clarence England, and Allan West. Morris and the Angland brothers placed dummy heads on their pillows made from soap and concrete dust, combined with hair stolen from the barberh shop floor. If guards look through the bars, they'll see what appears to be sleeping prisoners. West moves to his air vent to climb through and escape, but the concrete has hardened around it. The opening is too narrow. He can't fit through. Morris and the Anglins can't wait. They move forward without him. They enter the utility corridor behind their cells and climb to the top level of the cell block. There, hidden in the darkness is their equipment. For 6 months, they've been widening the ventilation ducts beneath their sinks. They've used discarded saw blades, metal spoons from the dining hall, and an electric drill they built from a vacuum cleaner motor. They've hidden the noise beneath accordion music. In their secret workshop above, something else waits. A rubber raft made from stitching. 50 stolen raincoats together as well as paddles and life preservers they built by hand for their escape. Now they climb the ventilation shaft toward the roof. Guards hear a loud crash when they break through. They slide down a kitchen vent pipe, dropping 50 ft to the ground. They climb over two barbed wire fences. They reach the northeast shoreline near the power plant. This area isn't covered by search lights or guard towers. They pull out a stolen accordion they modified to work as an air pump. At 11:40 p. m., Morris and the England brothers push the raft into the water. Back inside the prison

### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00]

West finally removes his grill. He climbs to the workshop. The others are gone. He finds an unfinished raft waiting, a paddle, three life preservers, and his own dummy head. He returns to his cell. The guards won't discover the escape until morning. A young woman walks towards the exit of Bongu 3 prison in Rio di Janeiro. She wears a pink shirt with donut cartoon characters. She's covering her eyes and keeping her head down. Something about this person isn't right. The woman's hands are a little too large. She stopped and questioned. It isn't Silva's daughter. It's Silva himself. He's wearing a silicone mask, a black wig with long hair, and even a bra. He's disguised himself to look like his 19-year-old daughter. and swapped places with her during her visit that morning. Prison officials released a video of him removing each piece. Officials questioned Silva's daughter and seven other people who recently visited him. They suspected someone smuggled the disguise items inside. They believe a pregnant woman who wasn't searched by guards hid the wig and glasses on herself. Inside Rosson prison in Argentina, 110 prisoners are planning an attempt to escape at the same time. The escape was organized by Mario Roberto Sanucho, leader of the Workers Revolutionary Party. Six leaders have formed what they'll call the leakage committee. They'll go first so everyone else can follow. The prisoners move through the corridors. They encounter two guards. Gunshots ring out. The six committee leaders reach the front of the prison where a getaway vehicle is waiting for them. The car drives toward True Airport. Behind them, the other 104 prisoners reach the prison entrance. They look for the vehicles that were supposed to be waiting, but the vehicles aren't there. There's been a misunderstanding about the previously agreed signals. Most of the escapes are stranded, but 19 prisoners didn't give up. They run into the street and take control over three taxis. They order the drivers to take them to Trul. At the airport, something is already in place. A group of guerilla supporters have disguised themselves as passengers. They board an Austral11 airline. They hijack the plane. The six committee leaders arrive and the pilot starts the engines. Minutes later, the three taxis arrive. The 19 prisoners jump out and run toward the aircraft. They're too late. The plane is already lifting off the runway. It's flying to Chile where Socialist President Salvador Al-Hende is in power. Out of 110 who tried to escape, only six were successful. A fire breaks out inside Mong Correctional Center in Blom Fontaine, South Africa. It's midnight and the fire is in the cell of Tabo Bester, a convicted criminal. Prison guards rush to the cell. They find a body inside, but it's burned beyond recognition. The Department of Correctional Services makes an announcement. They released a statement to the public that same day. Thabo Bester is dead. But months pass. In October 2022, a journalist named Mauricia Dammons published an article. She raises questions about the investigation. Months later, Dams published another article. This one includes post-mortem results of the burned body. The person was already dead before the fire started. Someone had set the body on fire after death. Police open up a murder investigation. In March, another news site publishes new evidence. Journalists Mauricia Dammons and Daniel Stein revealed the truth. He faked his death and escaped from prison. But there's something else in the article as celebrity doctor has filed a court case. She wants the body returned to her. She claims to be Berser's wife under customary law. 2 days later, the journalist published photographs. Ber is standing in a grocery store in Standen City. His wife is next to him. Best is alive. Public outcry follows immediately. People demand answers. One week later, the Department of Correctional Services makes an admission. Tabo Besser had escaped from prison. He'd been free for nearly a year while everyone believed he was dead. Lucy Dooko waits at Sydney International Airport. She has her phone ready. She's waiting for a call. John Kick is locked inside Silver Water Correctional Center across the city. He's in prison for robbery and firearm offenses, but today the day he gets out. The call comes. Kick tells Dco he's entering the exercise yard. It's time. Dudeo walks to a helicopter waiting on the tarmac. Pilot Timothy Joyce is inside. She told the company she wanted to see the construction site of Sydney Olympic Park from the air. The helicopter climbs into the sky. Minutes into the flight. Dudeo reaches into her bag. She pulls out a pistol. She tells him to fly to Silverwater Prison. The pilot has no options. He turns the helicopter toward the prison. Below them, Kick is standing in the exercise

yard. He can hear the helicopter approaching. The pilot brings the helicopter down. It lands on the oval inside the prison grounds. Prison officers see what's happening. They run toward the helicopter and open fire. Bullets hit the aircraft. Two make contact, but the helicopter is still flying. Kick runs across the oval and quickly climbs into the helicopter. Joyce lifts off immediately. Bullets are still being fired at them. They fly away from the prison and land at another location. Dudco and Kick tie up the pilot. They hijack a car and drive away for 45 days. They stay on the run. They move between Victoria and New South Wales. Police search for them across two states. The escape makes international headlines. The media gives Dookco a nickname. After 45 days, police found them. Both are arrested and returned to prison. In the 1840s, a convict named George Billy Hunt is locked inside an Australian penal colony. Guards watch the prisoners constantly. But Hunt has been watching something the guards ignore. Kangaroos hop near the prison grounds all the time. Hunt decides something simple. He'll become a kangaroo. He waits for his chance. One day, he manages to kill a kangaroo near the prison. He skins the animal carefully and removes the entire hide in one piece. The disguise is surprisingly good. Hunt has made a full kangaroo suit. He can wear it and move around inside it. From a distance, he'll look like a real kangaroo. Hunt puts on his disguise. He gets down on all fours. He begins hopping toward the edge of the prison grounds. The guards see a kangaroo moving across the open area. They don't think anything is unusual. Hunt keeps hopping. His plan is working. Then one of the guards gets bored. The guard is also hungry. He looks at the kangaroo. He decides it'll make good target practice, maybe even good food. The guard raises his rifle. He aims at the kangaroo. Hunts left with two choices. He can keep pretending to be a kangaroo and get shot or he can reveal himself and surrender. He pulls off the kangaroo skin. The guard stares. It isn't a kangaroo. It's Hunt in a kangaroo costume. Hunt is dragged back to the prison. The authorities aren't amused. They decide to make an example of him. Hunt receives 150 lashes with a whip as punishment, and he never tries to disguise himself as an animal again. Inside Sir David Longland prison in Wackle, Queensland, five prisoners are locked in their cells. Three years has passed since one of them, Abbott, was sent back inside. But this time, he's brought something most inmates only dream of. Angel wire. Diamond encrusted wire strong enough to slice through solid steel. The five men begin to work. Inch by inch, the wire cuts through the bars. Finally, an opening appears large enough to squeeze through. They move across the prison yard toward the perimeter fence filled with sensors, the final barrier between them and freedom. Then they see him. Brendan Bareran is standing on the other side. He was released from the same prison jail 2 months earlier. Now he's back, but not inside the cells. He's outside holding bolt cutters. He throws them over the fence. Abbott catches them and starts cutting through the wire. The sensors are connected. The moment he breaches the fence, alarms will scream and they do. Guards jump into the patrol vehicle and accelerate toward the fence. Barichan raises his gun. He opens fire. Bullets tear into the vehicle. It disables completely. More shots ring out. The guards can't move. For Abbott, this is unusual. His reputation is built on threats, not violence. But Barin is panicking. The plan is falling apart. The gunfire buys them time. Abbott cuts through the final section of fence. All five men squeeze through the opening and sprint towards Baracan's waiting car. They jump inside. The car accelerates and disappears into the Queensland night. Around midnight in Karach, the ground begins to shake. An earthquake strikes the city. Malier Jail, the second largest prison in the province, trembles with the movement. Inside, 5,000 inmates are locked in their cells. The facility is seriously over capacity. In fact, it was only ever designed to hold 2,200 inmates. The walls begin to shake. The building tremble. Prisoners feel the earthquake moving through the structure. Panic spreads through the cell blocks. Inmates start shouting from their cells. They think the building will collapse on top of them. Thousands of prisoners begin breaking down their cell doors. They're not trying to escape yet. They're trying to survive. The violence escalates. Police officers respond by firing warning shots into the air. Many inmates hear the gunfire and return to their cells. They decide it's safer inside than risking being shot, but others see an opportunity. The earthquake has created chaos. Security is overwhelmed. The guards can't stop everyone. 216 inmates storm through the prison gates and run into the streets of Karach. Police immediately begin searching for the escapes. They go door to door, visiting past addresses of the missing

prisoners. By the end of the operation, police had recaptured 80 inmates. More than 130 inmates remain at large. Families gather outside the prison gates. They're protesting. Relatives of inmates who didn't escape are frustrated that they can't see their family members. The Minister for Prisons, Ali Hassan Zadari, orders an investigation. He warns that any officers found at fault will be disciplined. The prison superintendent defends his staff. He tells the BBC this wasn't a security failure. It was a natural disaster. But 216 prisoners had still escaped and more than 130 of them are still
