Fun Fact: I am from Austria and here you cannot be convicted for a prison break. It is not illegal to break out of prison in our country. Because it is considered to be the striving for freedom which every human being possesses. If you manage to break out of a prison, the state itself is responsible for the fact that the prison was not escape-proof.

Thats cause rehabilitating yourself is a million times easier and more effective than anything the Government offers. All Taxpayer money is spent on is creating even more hardened criminals, providing them with contacts in the criminal world and making them hate society even more. Jails in the US are basically College for Criminals.
Jails/prisons should as much as possible be correctional, not punitive. If the man stayed out of trouble for nearly five decades, they should let him be.
That sets a bad example. Would be a crime without punishment. People will think ok I'll commit a crime, stay out trouble and get a job and it will be ok
@Anthony Clown this guy is obviously rehabilitated. If he knows that what he did was wrong and he doesn’t commit any crimes, they should be able to get set free. Our prison system is more about punishment than rehabilitation and they just use prisons for money and to keep people in them.
@Anthony Clown prison should be a place of rehabilitation. When somebody goes to prison they have no chance of succeeding and basically have to resort to crime. Prison wants people to go to prison. This guy obviously doesn’t want to commit crimes so the crime rates would actually go down, if prisons actually reformed them to actually be good citizens.
In case anyone’s curious, he was originally convicted of robbery. In early December of 2016, he went to a hospital, and ended up dying due to various illnesses.
The system is upset that this man has had the final say the last 50 years over his life and they’re not happy about that. He changed his life, & kept outta trouble, he basically rehabilitated himself if you ask me.
this video doesnt mention it but he actually ended up becoming a teacher at one point after escaping. miles better than any of the outcomes that come with being imprisoned for 17 years.
How it is possible to pay taxes in US if you are fugitive? Doesn't IRS and FBI communicate together? In My country it would be impossible with fake name because you need real social number.
@@LucaBrasi0 He didn't immediately start using his SSN after escaping and eventually his case went cold and was put into storage. Once the state stopped actively looking, any FBI assisstance would have pretty much stopped as well. They only found him because the state decided to run checks on all of the really old fugitive cold cases they had one last time and then close them for good. Unfortunately he had eventually started using his real social security number and had claimed his benefits when he retired which flagged when they ran his name and SSN that last time. It was a really old case so it likely didn't make it into modern government databases and thus wouldn't have flagged when he eventually started paying his taxes etc. over the years.
It's not a matter of rewarding, it's a matter of using reason to deduce that it is absolutely meaningless to put someone like him into prison seeing as he is not a threat to anyone and is old and dying.
Nah By the looks of it, He didn't seem to be that "stressed" about his escape, and about getting caught again. Here is why, 1st, if he was too anxious about getting caught, He would have never attempted to find proper/legal job.. Don't even tell me that those illness he got are probably the result of his stress, Cus i tell you, Anyone can get cancer and all, Even if they never had stress in their lives. 😏
I mean, it depends on the criminal. They could have caused a massacre, multiple cases of rape or just about any unforgivable crimes that ruined families.
You have it 33% right. The goal of prison is to fix the fixable, isolate the unfixable from society, and act as a form of deterrence to keep the impulsive individuals in line.

Jails/prisons should as much as possible be correctional, not punitive. If the man stayed out of trouble for nearly five decades, they should let him be.
That sets a bad example. Would be a crime without punishment. People will think ok I'll commit a crime, stay out trouble and get a job and it will be ok
@@xtrlsidma I would be perfectly okay with that. The society too would be. Any sober person would be.
He's passed now
@Anthony Clown this guy is obviously rehabilitated. If he knows that what he did was wrong and he doesn’t commit any crimes, they should be able to get set free. Our prison system is more about punishment than rehabilitation and they just use prisons for money and to keep people in them.
@Anthony Clown prison should be a place of rehabilitation. When somebody goes to prison they have no chance of succeeding and basically have to resort to crime. Prison wants people to go to prison. This guy obviously doesn’t want to commit crimes so the crime rates would actually go down, if prisons actually reformed them to actually be good citizens.

In case anyone’s curious, he was originally convicted of robbery. In early December of 2016, he went to a hospital, and ended up dying due to various illnesses.
Update: The state of Connecticut dropped its efforts to get him back to Georgia for prosecution. He died shortly after.
Oof
ARandomTH-camr R.I.P
Ugh this is so sad.
At least he died a legend
ARandomTH-camr wow youre soo funny you have a roblox pfp and say oof damn you must be a legend
He made a quality 48 years for himself and others by the sound of it. He actually died not long ago. So he never went back to jail
@@doggger It's not that long ago relative to this being a 4 year old video.
Lol what a badass
Died a free man . Rip brother
@@dannyhuskerjay at least he died a free man that matters
@@geraldchurchill5576 Tbf thats not a long time from now, just a few years ago
The system is upset that this man has had the final say the last 50 years over his life and they’re not happy about that. He changed his life, & kept outta trouble, he basically rehabilitated himself if you ask me.
this video doesnt mention it but he actually ended up becoming a teacher at one point after escaping. miles better than any of the outcomes that come with being imprisoned for 17 years.
He broke out of prison, evaded the law. Might even have forged identity papers
Yes. Exactly what the system DOESNT WANT. They can't make money with out prisoners.
@@joewilliams5101 they’re not looking to clean up the streets they’re just filling their pockets with money off of FREE LABOR!!!
That is the purpose behind jail and prison. To reform and change your ways. Good analysis!
Got a ssn, job and paid taxes. Id say he paid his debt. I guess once he retired and no longer paid taxes is when the gov wanted to lock em back up
BINGO
Unless you're a blacktivist on CNN, then they leave you alone.
How it is possible to pay taxes in US if you are fugitive? Doesn't IRS and FBI communicate together? In My country it would be impossible with fake name because you need real social number.
@@LucaBrasi0 He didn't immediately start using his SSN after escaping and eventually his case went cold and was put into storage. Once the state stopped actively looking, any FBI assisstance would have pretty much stopped as well. They only found him because the state decided to run checks on all of the really old fugitive cold cases they had one last time and then close them for good. Unfortunately he had eventually started using his real social security number and had claimed his benefits when he retired which flagged when they ran his name and SSN that last time.
It was a really old case so it likely didn't make it into modern government databases and thus wouldn't have flagged when he eventually started paying his taxes etc. over the years.
@@possumverde You’re highly informed!
Seriously? Do we really want a dying man to go back to prison over a 50 year old robbery?
samworthick I mean, he did break the law when he broke out in the first place. Why should we reward him for that?
Robonator7of9 because he managed to escape and hide for 50 years? Its a lost to the US law enforcement
lit it go
Christopher B nah he should go back to prison
It's not a matter of rewarding, it's a matter of using reason to deduce that it is absolutely meaningless to put someone like him into prison seeing as he is not a threat to anyone and is old and dying.
Got a job, stayed out of trouble but the stress of looking over his shoulder for almost 50 years had to be incredible.
Nah
By the looks of it,
He didn't seem to be that "stressed" about his escape, and about getting caught again.
Here is why,
1st, if he was too anxious about getting caught,
He would have never attempted to find proper/legal job..
Don't even tell me that those illness he got are probably the result of his stress,
Cus i tell you,
Anyone can get cancer and all,
Even if they never had stress in their lives. 😏
Rose Dawson are you on drugs lol?
@@huntsman_7117 omg how did u know😱😱😱

@@huntsman_7117 omg
You're so good...😱😱😱
You must be a psycho

Or something, are u?
But how possible did the cops recognise him after 48 years
Fbi database fingerprints, facial recognition, etc
I guess he just got caught lackin and the one cop to be like “wtf you on the lamb boy” and then boom t
He applied for social security and was caught that way. He lived in Sherman,CT
Are u trolling or are u really that dumb?
@Blust GT maybe you're equally dumb not to understand the comment
He had a job and turned his life around, waste of tax payer money to send him back
Prisons should be about rehabilitation not punishment
No because if you comit a harsh crime you should serve some kind of punishment
He died a few months after this video came out anyways. R.I.P.
I mean, it depends on the criminal. They could have caused a massacre, multiple cases of rape or just about any unforgivable crimes that ruined families.
You have it 33% right.
The goal of prison is to fix the fixable, isolate the unfixable from society, and act as a form of deterrence to keep the impulsive individuals in line.
@@ColeisVibeing the punishment is your freedom taken away... You still have to do things you don't want to, but instead are in a normalized environment specialized for rehabilitation...
It’s been 50 damn years that part of his life passed he’s in the end of his life let him be free
U.S.A. FOREVER He didn't tho
U.S.A. FOREVER yea so breaking into a house isnt as bad as "raping a child"
U.S.A. FOREVER cumbasket
Guys he is dead now so shut up.
U.S.A. FOREVER Bringing politics into an argument lmao so typical.
The dude stayed 48 years out without anyone giving a damn and without him committing crimes... just leave him alone, he deserves it.
Not necessarily he just evaded for 50 years doesn't mean he was a good clean boy always
@@gustavosmith3980 Except that if he had committed a crime, police would probably have looked up his criminal record and found that he was a fugitive.
They won't bother him anymore. He he died at the end of 2016 LOOOOL
@@curtisjohnson2433 A person dying isnt funny.
Therefore not all criminals deserve death penalty/long term-life in prison sentence.
You shouldn't arrest him for being such a mad lad
I like the amount of BRRRRT in your profile pic
Shouldn’t what put him in prison be part of this story?
That's what I was thinking. Couldn't of been anything serious.
Probably not worth mentioning, even if it was bad.
@@austinfondren5053 He and two other guys broke into a house, tied up the three people, and stole a bunch of stuff from the house. As the two men were driving away, police arrived and chased them down. Robert would later escape from prison and he went back to CT. He led a normal productive life. After being arrested, as a fugitive, he fought the extradition back to GA and won. GA commuted his sentence. Six weeks later, Robert Stackowitz, passed away from several health problems.
You expect too much from journalists.
@Morgus Schmorgus You have a right to stand your ground depending on state you are in...so it is serious. What would you wish for the people that broke into your house and i dnk tying up your parents or something...

Commute his time he’s already paid his price by turning his life around
He paid the innevitable price
All the way into the end of his life he died six weeks after they let him go
He already died from medical complications
You pay the price by doing time. Not by commiting multiple crimes (escaping and identify theft for over 50 years)
Take Notes he passed away unfortunately
He passed away in December of 2016. Six weeks after winning freedom. R.I.P Robert Stackowitz
The dude was clean for 48 years, I think that's telling enough that he's changed.
Therefore not all criminals deserve death penalty/long term-life in prison sentence.
wow cleaned for 48 years? dam mr clean been silenced ever since he heard that
Or just was never caught again and learned from his mistakes on how he got caught last time 😏
@@finmat95 lol what are talking about? Not everyone gets the death penalty… very few actually do.

Right?
@@calvin3448 sucks to hear
So he did tell the truth . It was a death sentence
I love how impressed the man interviewing him is!
To be fair the guy probably went through 48 years fearing what might happen if he's caught again, thats already punishment enough
Yeah, I would be paranoid.😂😂
Specially if you just escape, my heart would be pounding.
LOL THE COMMENT ABOVE YOU IS VERIFIED
Imagine all the close calls he had or he believed.
@@ringofdreal1374 i think maybe the first few years or at most the first decade but after 50 years he probably assumed they stopped looking for him. it all depends on the crime he commited i guess
I’m sure he stopped worrying after a few years
I’m impressed I would let him walk
Sweet Victory There are people in prison today who have been there for so long some since there 20s that they can't remember why there in there anymore due to old age
Damn. He gulped the $#!+ out of that saliva at 1:41
im sleep😭
Lmfaoo
why is this making me laugh so much
Can I just say the fact that people are either questioning him going back to jail after 48 years is ridiculous, he's lived a happy and private life hasn't broke the law in all that time has a wife and an old home and people are talking about him going to jail for 17 years just to die. Sick twisted people.. leave him alone.
imagine living your life building bonds and maybe having kids, being in a marriage maybe and thinking ur off the hook and they forgot..... then u just get arrested._.
My father had known him since the early 1970s when Dad was just out of high school and this man was in his late 20s. It's shocking to know someone 4 decades without any suspicion of anything and then find out something like this. You almost can't wrap your head around it being the same person. We were all stunned. NOBODY knew, at least not among friends and acquaintances.
I mean he really showed how unfair this system is. Completely turned his life around, good for him. RIP
for anyone curious he went to prison on a forcible robbery charge.
And learned his lesson.... which is what jail/ prison is all about.

@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Having been in prison for 7 years and I know hundreds of people that are now out, probably 5-7 out of those hundreds are all that are not doing wrong things again and it was NOT with any help from the penal system.

The one thing is does do is help people meet more people like them.... druggies, burglars, rapists, etc. It sucks, but, I lived it :(
17 years for robbery is injustice already , so glad that he escaped
What was the initial crime he comitted to be put away for 17 years?
Home invasion robbery by force
Robbery with force

he was not a murderer but a thief. A man can lose his way around from time to time, but to turn around his life even on the run is truly remarkable.

The point of prison is punishment. It’s not for rehabilitation. You want that? Get into rehab.
Yeah it’s punishment for your crime, rehab is obviously apart of it but mostly it’s for punishment hence heinous crimes get longer prison sentences
@@emilylynnnx4172 literally every country that has used it for the purpose of rehabilitation sure are doing better than the country that turned the prison into a private industry.
@@kennethchou4384 For real. Just look at documentaries. They show that prisons are owned by corporations and use prisoners for cheap labor. Their is also a difference between justice and revenge. Revenge deals with the past and Justice deals with preventing future offenses.
Why Isn't anyone asking what his original charges were? Did he steal a car, or is he a murderer?? Shouldn't that make a difference??
If someone is able to escape prison and normally love 50 years. That’s enough proof that they are not a danger to society and deserve to be free.
He died like 4 years ago.... chill
He put up a good life after escaping for 50yrs. He's a reformed person and doesn't need to be in jail.
Hes dead now im sure
He got to live his best years already. He wins either way. Great video
He literally proved that rehabilitation can be done better outside the system than in it.
Imagine staying out for 48 years and not getting caught that’s amazing and mind blowing

Robbery with force
Terrible journalism.

Who said he was a great member of society and changed his ways? What if he was secretly beating his wife and molesting kids? Most Molesters and women Beaters dont get caught
It would have the effect of being on parole for 50 years.
