On a bitter January day, three men are found to be missing from one of the highest security prisons in the UK, a prison with a reputation as the ‘British Alcatraz’. With seemingly no tools or materials, they have somehow managed to scale two huge perimeter walls. And stranger still is the fact that the men responsible haven’t actually ‘broken out’ of this prison at all. The men responsible have let themselves out, using a key. But with no keys stolen and none of the locks showing any signs of having been picked, how could this be possible? In this week’s episode, Barry and Lora explore the 1995 HMP Parkhurst breakout.
