Prison Break – Aussie Style

On Wednesday night thousands of Aussies were plastered to their television screens for the season one finale of one of the greatest series ever created. That’s right, I’m talking about Prison Break. And although we are yet to find out whether the boys managed a successful escape, the program could not have been more action-packed, more gripping, more shocking. But as we rooted for the criminals to make their getaway, little did any of us know, there was a real life prison escapee roaming the streets of Sydney...


On June 24 this year, a 22-year-old inmate at the John Moroney Correctional Facility managed a break out of his own whilst being given medical treatment at a nearby Hospital. He fled the scene and police had been on the look out ever since.

However, last night authorities found themselves in a high-speed car chase with this young man who was driving a stolen BMW that was spotted on Forest Way in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. A violent brawl and a number of gunshots later, the young male from Werrington was finally recaptured by police.

He has been charged with 23 offences, including the escape from lawful custody. The young man has been refused bail and will appear in court this week.

It's not something you hear about in this country very often. But seriously, who knew?


Who knew that real life could be as exciting as Prison Break?

haha... yes you ARE! Though lots of people have that strange desire to see the dangerous as long as they are not involved in it...
