    This guy is pure genius.... worked by himself, had a physical disability and still got out..... and he was caught not because he made a mistake..... because he fell asleep....

      Salah Osman I know unbelievable. He's out for only a few hours and he already ACCIDENTALLY breaks another law completely UNRELATED to the escape!! Christ with that adrenaline most escapees stay up for the first few days, I know I would, because I can stay up that long driving with no adrenaline at all.

    • @michaelgeorge4780
      @michaelgeorge4780 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm 5 years late, but it is a huge difference. He was a minor at the time of his crime, so his life sentence cannot be charged as a life with no parole. If you listen at the beginning, you see that he was actually given a 35 year sentence ("life", but he's eligible for release after 35 years). He'd be free right now as we speak had he not escaped. But I do not blame him one bit for attempting that escape. That guy deserves 100% to be free. He didn't want to join the Neo-Nazis, he didn't hurt anyone while on the run, he could've easily shot the officer that was stopping him. The guy was punished wayyy too harshly. There is another 10 years of brain development left for a 16 year old, to charge him for the murder and then give him 35 years is disgusting. Leave it to some stupid hick state like Texas to come up with medieval laws like that

But never did i ever think i could escape out the cell let alone the jail. And these were NOT high security or even secure cells when i think on it now. The sheer thought of ' Im getting out this cell ' is beyond me. Pure genius.

      I was locked up in Melbourne at a high security prison in the middle of the CBD.
      The cell windows faced a busy city street.
      There was Perspex and 3 steel bars welded to a flat steel window frame but the bars didn't penetrate the frame.
      We had electric Kettles in our cells.
      I could have stolen the long electric cord from the vacuum cleaner, smashed the kettle to get to the heat element.
      Use the long cord and the Heat element to melt the Perspex.
      This would take about 2 hours.
      Use fan to blow smell outward. Perspex doesn't smoke at that temperature anyway.
      Attach foil to left bar connecting top to bottom so the alarm isn't tripped when separated.
      Cut bar with wire from extension cord covered with cutting agent made from steel shavings sand creamer and glue from shoe soles.
      There was a key cutting station like at a shopping centre. The grindings and the lubricant that builds up is a perfect cutting agent. Once mixed with something sticky and thick.
      Rope blanket to the street. Then you're getting chased unless you're super lucky but you could have a motor cycle waiting.
      If you know that part of the city we'll there are lots of alleys and bike paths etc.
      Not sure if this would have worked but it killed time thinking about it.

Your reaction to Harold is quite common. I am not related to him but I am a penpal and have written and received many letters from him for 8 months now. I am convinced that society is better served having him OUT rather than IN. He has shown remorse and consistently shown his efforts to educate and improve himself. He has never asked me for one single thing and often helped me sort things out. His whole family has turned their backs on him. I and a friend in Germany (a reporter) are keeping his new website going. He writes, she manages the site, and I copyedit. Please take a look. www.insideout-prison.com/index.php?id=2 Harold is also an accomplished artist and a lady in The Netherlands set up an art site for him about 10 years ago. www.haroldmlaird.com/

      Life sentence is not exactly life sentence. It differs in different countries. In US I think "life sentence" = 25 or 30 years. After that the court will review the sentence - gives parole or sets them totally free. In India "life sentence" = 14 years after which prisoners are mostly released without going back to court.
      Adding time to life sentence without parole is what you are talking about.

He would have died and that's the whole prisons fault. I would ask for a new trial and open a law suit for time taken off my bid and some money from pain and suffering, along with moving him to a better prison. I'm sure if he fought for it he could have gotten something out of it and a lot of guards and the warden would be toast out of a job.

Stopping and sleeping in your car at a rest stop, there's a too good chance that a cop will come and knock on your door, even if it's just to do a breath test or see that you're alright, or ask for your license because you're looking for a robber in the area or something. Damn, why wouldn't you find a quiet out of the way stop in the bushes, out of public view!

    As soon as he decided to sleep in the truck I knew the game would be up, stealing a car always poses a huge risk, he'd have been better off driving off somewhere and dumping it an hour later, head for a wooded area and go for a sleep to gather his thoughts and make some kind of plan.
    Unfortunately In Car obsessed America it's the thing to do, and cars are checked by police when a fujitive is on the run, much easier to escape in a place away from city life and main roads.

    really wanted this guy to be able to stay out.
    in a lockup raw episode there was another escapee who managed to get 500 miles out of state but he got caught the same way, passed out in the car.
    i'd drive to the nearest big city, ditch the car, and go to a homeless shelter or even skid row (where rough sleepers are common) and figure shit out after a night of sleep. you're always a sitting duck in a vehicle, especially stolen, and especially in the USA, where cops are such busybodies who love to rustle anyone in a parked car or a car period. i'm from canada, where admittedly it is a lot easier to pull off somewhere and hop in the back for a snooze. also, always better to park in a crowded lot and make yourself not visible with a sheet or tarp. being the only car somewhere is asking for it.

They've now kept him in solitary for 11 years since that time because he's a threat to their careers. They don't plan to let him out. However, his behaviour record has been very good, and he's well liked by the prison guards. Go figure. I write him all the time, and I think he would do well as a legally free man.

      i was actually planning to write him as well when i first saw this episode, and your comment reminded me! i also think he'd do fine on the outside - he doesn't have the born-to-lose mindset of a real habitual con. he'd make a great handyman or, with some education, an engineer with a troubleshooting specialty...just imagine how resourceful he'd be doing something like industrial pipeline insulation or retrofitting. to think there are probably far more evil offenders out there who still have out dates because they decided to snitch or something.

A quite a scientific bent, yes - would make a good engineer. I've been writing to him for over a year now. He has a blog too, and an art site (this woman sells his art from The Netherlands or at least she used to). Please do write to him - he'd be very pleased. Letters are his life-line. He's in a cell 23 hours a day. Never mind good behaviour. It almost seems they have no intention of ever letting him out. This is in contravention of the whole system as it is supposed to work!

    Harold has skills n tactics n am sure that he will escape again n it will be forever. He is now busy studying n seeing his mistake first time n he knows that it was falling asleep.
    So next time he won't do that mistake of sleeping ever again. He has learnt his mistake n has tasted the breth of freedom n felt it , so he still craves n wants that free feeling , n am sure he is working on his super last escape ,n with his MacGyver skills n abilities he won't get caught again.

    Harold is a pen pal of mine and what he said to me about the show is. A lot of what really happened the director changed. so you saw what he MADE UP. The truth is much longer. The show cut out a lot of what really happened and had to be change a lot to properly get the point across in a fast way. The only thing that is close to fact was how I got out of my cell and over the fence. The rest only the basics were true but how it happened had been changed. Some of those changes made me look stupid but maybe ill get the chance to set the record straight.

    As a white man born and raised in west Baltimore Maryland in a city dominate by blacks. I did 6 years in MD DOC. STR8 02 TO 08 NOW every state is different as far as prison politics but he was targeted by his own because killing woman for 1 is frowned upon. And 2 just looking at this man he's just not built for SAVAGE life which is most prisons of crimes such as his. So he's gonna be extorted because he's in no way BENEFICIAL to his race in there eyes. So if you ain't ready to stand 10 toes down as a man your definitely gonna be a victim. This man is a genius and COULDA been more helpful to his inmates if they would of just ROCKED HIM TO SLEEP instead of just instantly trying to intimidate him. But EVERYTHING AINT FOR EVERYBODY AND IF YOU SHOW ANY FEAR OR WEAKNESS IN ANY PRISON YOU WILL BE TARGETED. So my advice to anyone that ain't confrontational DONT BREAK THE LAW IF YOU CANT HANDLE THE FULL RIDE.

    never ever use just 1 car. that's not smart. keep swapping them. and don't take a new car in the same town you left the old car in. I would have dumped that truck. 1 town over just to get the dogs off me. and then left that town and taken another one in the next town breaking my trail..

    • @jtking2504
      @jtking2504 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Yeah, the dogs can't track him AFTER he gets in the truck, but they can certainly track his steps to the truck, so they know they will find him in that particular stolen car and he needed to dump it quickly once he gets out of town. He was so careful and so creative in the actual escape but then got ridiculously complacent in the first 24 hours afterwards when they were still in hot pursuit.

      I agree. Harold escaped because his life was threatened. I don't know why they put him in a section with white supremacists in the first place. He didn't kill or hurt any one during his escape. I think that should have been taken into account.

    Stealing a car is one thing not to do during an escape. Police are waiting for you to make a mistake or a moving violation so they can grill you and take you back to jail. Had this guy walked during the whole escape, like John Parsons did, then he could have stayed out for longer than two months as well or maybe even longer if he'd high-tailed it to Mexico. He was so close to there but chose not to do that and was caught in a stolen vehicle after falling asleep at the wheel. All the escapees of the Breakout series are smart in that they can figure out an escape but stupid in that they make a mistake that gets them caught again, which police are waiting for.
