15 Shocking but True Prison Break Stories

The Ingenious Sewers Escape


Crafty Underground Journey

In 2015, notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán turned his maximum-security prison stay into a subterranean adventure. Picture this: a prison touted as inescapable, with guards at every corner and security cameras everywhere. But El Chapo had a different idea – digging his way out! Beneath his cell, an almost mile-long tunnel led to a nearby house, complete with lighting, ventilation, and even a motorcycle on tracks. Can you imagine? A motorcycle underground!

This wasn’t just any tunnel; it was an engineering marvel. Over months, El Chapo’s team of underground experts worked tirelessly, right under the noses of prison guards. They drilled, wired, and laid tracks, making sure the tunnel was ready for the big escape. And guess what? It worked like a charm. By the time the authorities realized what happened, El Chapo was long gone, probably laughing all the way to his hideout. Talk about digging deep for freedom!
