The reader is offered an anthology of famous escapes that could be included (if not already included) in the “golden fund” of the underworld. There are no prisons or other places of deprivation of liberty on the globe that would not know daring escapes and no less daring attempts to escape. Storming prison walls, hostage-taking, digging, flights on homemade units, insidious substitutions and disguises - all this awaits the reader in this book. The last section contains popular prison games and “jokes.”
