What actually happens when you try to dig your way out of a high-security prison—and what happens on the yard once you get caught?
On this episode of History Hyenas, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas are breaking down the wild world of famous prison breaks, the strict unwritten rules of prison gang hierarchy, and the bizarre geopolitical reality of racial segregation behind bars.
Plus, the boys tackle one of the most absurd prison dilemmas in history: In a system divided strictly by race, which gang does a Jewish person join? (Spoiler: The answer is WILD and completely nonsensical).
Grab your shanks, lock in, and get ready for pure, unfiltered chaos. IT'S A WILD ONE, CUZ!
