[@matrodmedia]

Not easy in the slightest. Watch the Escape at Dannemora series on Showtime, it's extremely accurate right down to nearly every detail. The escape took some SERIOUS hard work. It;'s mainly the compromising of their prison staff that they're embarrassed about. The vast majority of escape attempts and the introduction of major contraband is really only possible through the use of prison staff.

Mr.Beast may be rich, but he’s only rich because he asks famous and rich companies to sponsor them. Then after his videos blew up because of his sponsors other famous companies asked to have them sponsor. If you watch Mr.Beast you should know there was a guy named Marcus, he left because Mr.Beast wasn’t treating them fairly. And its true, he doesn’t. So he only gets money from huge sponsors and uses the money from sponsors on videos, then people watch it. Its that easy for him- but there’s more hardworking people more than Mr.Beast, he’s just rich. That’s why people watch him. He only does kind things, and he only does challenges. Kindness is amazing but not like that- just here, here’s money. Some people get greedy and then they want more money, he doesn’t do that much of hard work but rather than giving money and helping! Which I appreciate for that, but not because he’s giving and getting a lot of money.

Masterful escape. But plan B was plain dumb. These guys pulled off a great escape. But, when their accomplice lady didn't show up, they had no back up plan. How could they not think maybe she gets cold feet, then what would we do? Plan B, could have been several options. With the same designed outcome, put as much distance between them and the prison as fast as possible. Such as, steal a car, hijack a car, kidnap somebody with a car, break in a house and steal their car or take a hostage and car, hop a train. They had a 10 or 12 hour head start! And was running on foot just miles from the prison? They should have been 500 miles or more away from that prison when authorities realized they were missing. Great escape. But, as soon as they popped out of the man hole cover their planning went to hell.

[@LazyLizzy706]

Do you realize how dumb you seemed? 500 miles away from the prison in just 10-12 hours? 500 MILES? 500 miles on foot in 10-12 hours is impossible.

[@marwatson7408]

Daryl Lander I think what John was trying to say if they had transportation they would have a bigger head start they didn’t have a plan B when the Joyce woman didn’t show up. Like once police officer said convicts put all the effort into the escape but don’t have the means to survive once they get out no clothes, food, transportation, no money, no where to go. It was a nation wide man hunt for these guys sooner or later they were going to get caught.

Has no inmate ever thought of getting a running outfit for their escape? Nobody will question why you're running then if you have the outfit on. Snitch: "Police, I can see a suspicious man running down my street" Cop: "Ok, we will check it out" Snitch: "Police, I can see a man wearing a running outfit running down my street" Cop: "stop wasting our time" It sounds simple but just think about it, if you see somebody running in normal clothing, you think "hmm, what are they running from?". But if they're wearing a running outfit, you don't question it do you?
