Prison Escape - Whenever a prisoner escapes from custody, something has gone wrong. It could be a failure of technology, equipment, human error, building and procedural design, or staff corruption. I guide my audience through a real life escape from a prison where I worked. I have an intimate first hand knowledge of what happened, when, where, how and why. Four prisoners escaped in a single operation. I highlight why that story did not hit the national news headlines. I talk my audience through the whole escape plan from conception to execution, which was run just like a military operation. Perhaps that is not so surprising, because the leader of the escapers was also a soldier serving in the British Army. We look it how it all ended, and the supreme irony of karma for one of the escapers.

My presentations are laced with humour, facts and anecdotes; I seek to take my audience on a journey of exploration inside the murky world or prisons.
