Robert Stackowitz' "breakout" from a Georgia prison camp in 1968 was so simple it was almost comical. No tunneling or chiseling involved, according to Stackowitz.
He was such a good mechanic that prison officials allowed him to work off site on county school buses parked nearby. They even provided a vehicle for him to get there.
“One morning I got in the truck and drove away,” he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The law has finally caught up to the fugitive in Connecticut. Read about his escape and his life on the run for half a century at http://www.myajc.com/news/news/the-secret-life-of-a-prison-escapee/nrM4y/
