Is it possible to really break out of a high security prison?

Question

you know in films like the one with clint eastwood, they dig tunnels and stuff. but in a real brick-shithouse prison like strangeways, do you reckon someone with know how could do it like lincoln burrows in prison break?

Answer 1

I saw McGeyver do it once. All you need is a paper clip. 1 Used condom and 1. Avocado. And you can doit easily. Although I cant remember what he did exactly with the Avocado

Answer 2

yeah because the security systems have been made by humans after all, and if one human can make it, then another can break it!!!

it would be very hard though, i mean by the time you figure out how to, it may be tiem for you to get out or just die. unless your in there for like life.....

Answer 3

My dad was the assistant warden at the prison that the texas "7" broke out of. thats high security prison but i would not suggest it..... lol NOT IN TEXAS! ITS POSSIBLE THOUGH

Answer 4

Yes.  Escape from Alcatraz and the Great Escape are both based on true stories.  There was also an escape by some German prisoners of war during world war II somewhere in the southwest, and these people made it  out of the country safely.  Sensible people will say yes, though of course we have highly trained professionals trying to make it difficult.

Answer 5

They're making it harder every day, but Alcatraz WAS breached.

Answer 6

No, it's not possible to break out of high security prisons.

OF COURSE IT IS, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO ALCATRAZ???

Answer 7

Theoretically, yes.  It depends on the resources you have.  If you're very smart and very determined, have other prisoners prepared to help you, and people on the outside prepared to help you, it might just be possible.

Prisons like Strangeways have been around for over a hundred years and they've long since found all the easy exits and closed them up. If you want to escape then you're better off faking illness, being taken to hospital, whereupon your friends on the outside stop and hijack the ambulance and break you out.
