What drives someone to attempt the impossible? "Beyond the Walls" uncovers the fascinating psychology behind real-life prison escapes. We explore the minds of inmates, categorizing their motivations as sustainable, long-term plans or impulsive, situational acts. Hear the stories of legendary breakouts like Stalag Luft III and Alcatraz, alongside surprising escapes by women and those using unconventional means, from painted fruit to hijacked helicopters. This podcast examines the human desire for freedom and the incredible lengths people will go to achieve it.
