越獄是指監獄中的囚犯非法地離開或逃離監獄的行為。今天我們就來細數下幾例經典有趣的越獄。
靠挖洞：
Ralph "Bucky" Phillips escaped from prison on April 2, 2006, in New York, by cutting through the ceiling in the kitchen with a can opener. On June 10 he was suspected of a shooting which ended with one New York state trooper being severely wounded. Bucky was later caught in Warren County, Pennsylvania, and his escape led police on the largest manhunt in New York state history. He was sentenced to life without parole for the shooting death of SWAT officer Longobardo.
2006年4月2日，紐約，罪犯勞夫·菲利普斯用一個罐頭起子在監獄廚房的天花板上鉆出了個洞，隨后破洞而出。他的越獄引發了紐約州歷史上聲勢最為浩大的追捕行動。6月10日，他涉嫌槍擊，導致一名警察重傷，之后他在賓夕法尼亞州被捕。最終他因開槍打死一名特種警察被判終身監禁，不得保釋。
靠演技：
On November 4, 2005, Texas Death Row Inmate Charles Victor Thompson escaped from the Harris County Jail by acquiring a set of street clothes and pretending to be a representative from the State Attorney General's office to fool the corrections officers. He was recaptured two days later in Shreveport, Louisiana, 200 miles (320 km) from where he escaped.
2005年11月4日，一個叫查爾斯·維克多·湯姆森的殺人犯套上了一身偷運進來的百姓行頭，搖身一變成了個“州調查官”，哄過了那些天天見面的獄警，溜出了監獄大門。兩天后他就在距離越獄地點320公里的路易斯安那州什里夫波特市被捕。
靠拳頭：
Brian Nichols on March 11, 2005 escaped from the Fulton County courthouse in Atlanta, by overpowering an officer and taking her pistol. He then murdered a judge, a court reporter, a police officer and US Customs agent. He then held a woman named Ashley Smith hostage for a night in her own home, before he allowed her to leave to visit her daughter. Once she was released, she called the police, and he surrendered peacefully to SWAT officers who arrived on the scene.
2005年3月11日，布萊恩·尼克爾斯在亞特蘭大某法庭上赤手空拳打倒了一名守衛，搶了她的槍，成功逃脫。他還殺了一個法官、一個書記員、一個警察和一位海關官員。隨后，他沖進了一處民宅，挾持了一名婦女，在該婦女處住了一晚上，之后他允許該婦女離開去見她女兒。該婦女一經逃脫就報了警，最終尼克爾斯向警方繳械投降。
靠兄弟：
Sarposa Prison attack; a raid on the Kandahar detention facility in Kandahar, Afghanistan by Taliban insurgents on June 13, 2008. One of the largest attacks by Afghan insurgents, the raid freed 400-1000 prisoners.
Sarposa大劫獄：2008年6月13日，塔利班暴動分子襲擊了阿富汗坎大哈市的一處監獄，這是阿富汗暴動分子最大規模的襲擊，幫助了400-1000名囚犯逃脫。
靠耐心堅持：
On December 15, 2007 inmates Jose Espinosa and Otis Blunt escaped from the high-security level of the Union County jail in Elizabeth, New Jersey. They escaped by scraping away the mortar around the cinder blocks making up the cell walls. They then smashed the block, hid the pieces in a footlocker and covered the holes with pin-up pictures. To delay knowledge of the escape, they made dummies out of sheets and pillowcases and left them in their beds.
2007年12月15日，新澤西州的兩名犯人何塞·埃斯皮諾薩和奧蒂斯·布倫特成功逃出了高度戒備的聯邦法庭監獄。他們堅持不懈的刮墻上的石灰，最后打爛了墻，將碎墻塊藏在箱子中，還用性感女郎的招貼畫遮住了墻壁上的洞。為了掩飾，他們還用被單和枕套做成了假人放在床鋪上。
