    Fun fact: prison break is legal in Germany. If you break out and get arrested again there is no increase is the time you need to stay in prison. But if you do illegal stuff to break out like bribing or destroying something you can be punished for that

      We have accounts of many interesting people who encouraged one another and like brew said in the video would join in on an escape plan, even if it didn't directly benefited them. Simply because any successful escape, was a victory of sorts.
      With that kind of potential support, I would hope that I wouldn't give up if I ever had to deal with that situation.
      I would probably not have the will to escape myself... But I would hope that I would have learned a skill or two that would have helped others to escape. I know advanced cryptography theory, so at the very least secret messages could be made from basic food items.

      I had a dream where I was crawling through an infinitely vast space, but the floor and ceiling were only about one foot apart, and the farther I crawled to try and escape, the smaller the space would get. Upon realizing this, I decided to try and double- back, but the space kept getting smaller. At this point, I couldn't tell if I was just disoriented or if moving was what caused the space to get smaller. I got desperate at this point, as I had no idea of how long I was there, or how long I would have to stay, so I tried to judge if there was any incline to the space by turning and gaging the distance between the floor and ceiling, but to no avail. I once again tried to find a place where the space was wider, but the ceiling began to crush my body until I could hardly breathe. There I lay on the ground for hours, waiting for rescue, or light, or sound, or something that could help, but nothing came, so I decided to crawl some more.

      It's not like you had anything better to do. And you were obligated by duty to help resist the enemy anyways. Just because you were a prisoner doesn't mean you're out of the fight. You're just an enemy non-combatant at that point. Escape was considered a method of harassment. The enemy would have to expend resources to recapture escapees.

    I was at Tomoka C.I. (Florida) in the mid 1990s... some guys started digging under the bleachers on the North rec yard. They dug for weeks before one of them told on the rest. They used their jackets to carry the dirt off, spreading it elsewhere. I think the tunnel was nearing completion, extending under the perimeter, when it was discovered. I heard some guys dug out of Glades CI (also Florida) at one point too. They actually made it out tho.

    "In Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria and other countries, the philosophy of the law holds that it is human nature to want to escape. In those countries, escapees who do not break any other laws are not charged and no extra time is added to their sentence."
    This may explain why prison break is "only" punished with 10 solitary confinement.

    The key elements were the forged documents, railway timetables , the right civilian clothes with the right buttons and a good cover tale if stopped and questioned.
    The two best forgers were a Bank of England official, and a solicitor.
    My father Oliver Philpot wrote the book Stolen Journey, out of print , but second hand copies available. buy the hardback book , the paper in the paperbacks can be too flaky now.
    These three were the first to escape from Stalag Luft III.
    All three men had nightmares for the rest of their lives.
