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.

If you’re asking why less and less people are managing to pull off an escape
