Breakfast with the Devil: The Story of a Professional Jail Breaker - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In 1960, 18-year-old Wayne Carlson was convicted for stealing cars, and spent his twenties and thirties in penetentiaries and prisons across Canada and the U.S. But Carlson was no ordinary inmate -- what set him apart was his penchant for escaping from captivity. From Saskatchewan to Vermont, Carlson broke out of jail 13 times, making him the most-escaped prisoner in modern North American history. More than just a skillful escape artist, ever since gaining his freedom in 1998, Carlson has become one of Canada's most respected activists for prison reform. He is a member of the Samaritans of Southern Alberta and a founding member of The Prison Sams Program, a group that brings attention to the correlation between prison and suicide.
