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.

About Lindsay Whitehouse

I am almost uniquely experienced within the criminal justice system. I worked for the Probation Service in Cumbria. I served as a Prison Governor at a number of different prisons in the Midlands and South West areas of England. I was the first Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex.

I have provided commentary and analysis on a number of BBC programmes, TV and radio. I have written a number of articles aimed at criminal justice professionals involved in the Youth Justice system.

I have also written some short stories, based on my experiences in prison. I have been commended from different sources

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.
