10 People Who ESCAPED From Prison!
It's amazing to see what prisoners go through and the creative plans they come up with to escape. Very few succeed, let alone live to tell the story.

Here are 10 People Who ESCAPED From Prison!
10. Ronald Silva (A Woman’s Touch) – 2012





Just to ease up things a little, we start with a genius escape idea by Ronald Silva. In 2012, this drug trafficker was able to escape from a Brazilian prison. When his wife came for her weekly visit, she gave her husband the clothes she was wearing and changed into a spare outfit she had in her purse. Silva then went to great lengths to shave his arms and legs, apply fake nails, put on a wig, lipstick, heels, and the outfit that his wife had left him! He was able to walk right past the guards and out onto the street without attracting any attention. However, as he walked towards his friends waiting at a bus stop, a clever officer noticed him struggling to walk in the heels and spotted that something was not quite right. Silva’s wife claimed that while she brought him the clothes, she had no idea what he intended to do with them.
9. The Texas Seven - 13 December 2000
(75)/



A group of prisoners, dubbed the Texas Seven, escaped from the John B. Connally Unit on 13 December 2000. The Texas Seven schemed an elaborate plot and took 16 people hostage, including supervisors, officers, and three other inmates. They then took credit cards, IDs, clothes to be able to fit in as civilians. Four of them stayed behind to call the prison guards to distract them. The rest of them took over the guard tower, stole weapons, and a prison truck which they used to escape. They were apprehended just over a month after. Six of the seven were placed on Texas’ Death Row while the seventh (Larry James Harper) committed suicide rather than return to prison.
8. Frank Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can) – 15 April 1971








The escape of Frank Abagnale has been heavily popularized even in Hollywood. Frank was a notorious fraudster and imposter, on who the movie ‘Catch Me If You Can’ is based on. Frank started committing crimes as young as 15 and escaped prison twice. The first time while he was being deported to the US; Frank escaped off a British airplane at JFK. He was eventually recaptured in April 1971, at which point he made his more grandiose escape.

In April 1971, Frank used his wits to trick the guards into aiding in his escape. When checking into the prison, the US Marshal forgot Frank’s detention commitment papers. At this time in the US, many prisons were being inspected by federal workers for civil rights issues. Frank seized the opportunity to manipulate the prison guards into believing he was an undercover inspector posing as a prisoner for a review. He spent weeks building up the story. He used an accomplice on the outside to further convince the guards by forging a fake FBI business card that identified him as an officer.

The guards gave him special treatment thinking that they were helping the prison pass the inspection with flying colors. Eventually, he walked right out the prison and the guards allowed it, thinking they had fooled Frank. He was on the run for another two months before being re-arrested. However, the PR damage was done and the story got out making Frank an instant sensation for his ingenious escape.
