Prisons are designed to keep the bad guys on the inside. But for some captive geniuses, those prison walls are just another crime waiting to happen. Some of the greatest stories ever told start behind bars. Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman takes you through the most notorious prison breaks, every suspenseful moment of their escapes. Even the best laid plans can go wrong.
