10 People who have escaped from prison more than once – This will shock you! (With Pictures)

7. Willie Sutton – The Famous Escapee

Sutton was a well known and successful bank robber. He was said to have stolen over $2 million during his bank robbing days. He was known as Slick Willie, and had a soft side for a reputably bad guy. Sutton allegedly called off bank robberies if a woman screamed or a baby cried.

Sutton escaped a few times from prison: once he got control of a gun, and another time he scaled a wall with a ladder. His most famous escpape, though, he was just along for the ride. Some prisoners dug a hole 15 feet deep and almost 100 feet long. The tunnel even had lights. Sutton escaped with around 10 other guys but had nothing to do with digging the hole.

Sutton became a consultant with banks on how to avoid robberies later in life, and even did some TV commercials.
