The Midnight Express.

This is the story of someone who was serving a life sentence in prison for smuggling drugs but escaped using a variety of different modes of travel. This included a rowing boat and a train, with him traveling as far as Istanbul and Greece. After this he found himself in America where he wrote a book, which then went on to become a very famous film. 

Helicopter escapades.

Helicopter rides are exciting even if you’re just traveling to a destination. Pascal Payet used this type of travel to escape from prison, and not only that, he did it from two different prisons in France, both high security. Four men helped him to escape by helicopter. He then miraculously went on to help 3 other people escape via the same miraculous method – I think he must have found helicopters to be particularly helpful, so why not do the same for somebody else?

Alcatraz Prison.

On the isolated and foreboding place Alcatraz island, Alcatraz is almost impossible to reach unless you own a boat in the middle of nowhere. It was designed to be completely impenetrable for the inmates, however someone did in fact escape. They did it by digging themselves out and then crawling through an air vent and then through a drainpipe, no one knows what happened to them however, so they may have drowned in their efforts rather than escape the prison – well they did escape the prison, but perhaps not lived to tell the tale.
