How hard is it to escape from prison?
In the US alone more than 250,000 prisoners have been on the run since 1978 but not all escapes require the same skillset or intelligence.
Most of the cases in America were from state correctional facilities and not high security federal prisons.
Just over 5500 of those cases were from federal prisons which keep criminals convicted of breaching federal law like bank robberies, drug trafficking and hijacking.
That’s because these prisons have high security, including reinforced fencing and a high staff to inmate ratio.
Vocativ news points out that Prison escapes in America had peaked in the year 1994, coincidentally the same year “The Shawshank Redemption” was released.
And in the following years, prison escapes dropped sharply.
But remain a form of popular culture to this day
Talking about famous prison escapes, here’s the story of El Chapo Guzman.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
