Aw, now this list is sorely lacking a couple of legendary prison escapees...Clarence and John Anglin.

I have met the Hinds family and done extensive research. You failed to mention that Hinds was innocent of the crime his was imprisoned for and whilst "on the run" he would risk capture by meeting with the press to plead his innocence.

If you want really amazing escape stories, check out the german POW camp of Colditz Castle. One of the guys escaped by vaulting over the fence.

Yea, is that the same movie where the teller can't read his "penmanship" on the hold-up note? HA HA Anyway, back to Dillinger, he's a fellow Hoosier and we are so proud of him here in Indiana. Mellencamp, Florence Henderson and John Dillinger! Oh yea, Charlie Manson spent some time here too. Plus, Jim Jones.....think I'll stop there.

That soap/gun story always reminds me of the Woody Allen movie "Take the Money and Run" where he attempts it during a rain storm, ending up with a handful of bubbles.
