About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Prison Escape - Whenever a prisoner escapes from custody, something has gone wrong. Itcould be a failure of technology, equipment, human error, building and procedural design,or staff corruption. I guide my audience through a real life escape from a prison where Iworked. I have an intimate first hand knowledge of what happened, when, where, how andwhy. Four prisoners escaped in a single operation. I highlight why that story did not hitthe national news headlines. I talk my audience through the whole escape plan fromconception to execution, which was run just like a military operation. Perhaps that is not sosurprising, because the leader of the escapers was also a soldier serving in the British Army.

We look it how it all ended, and the supreme irony of karma for one of the escapers.
