Some escapes are spur of the moment opportunistic attempts. But most are well planned far in advance. The most famous one is the Alcatraz escape in 1962 when 3 men used dummies and tunnels to go missing. The U.S. Marshal's Office in San Fransico still have an open case file on these men.
For your assignment, use this outline:
1) Find an escape attempt from a jail or prison except the Alcatraz escape mentioned above. You may look through web files and books, or talk with correctional personnel in your area for examples. It does not matter if the inmates actually escaped or not.
2) Describe the escape attempt in detail. Be an investigative reporter and state who, what, when, where, how, & why.
3) Put yourself in the Warden's shoes; what measures would you take to prevent this kind of escape from occurring again?
