Imagine being a prison guard at a maximum security prison. You're doing your early morning bed checks, the same bed checks that you've done every day for years and years. Wait. This morning is different, because as you come across one prison cell, the prisoners aren't in there. Instead, it's two dummies hidden under the blanket and in the back of the prison cell, there's a hole in the wall.

I know. This sounds like something out of a movie or the TV show Prison Break. But it's not fiction, this is the story of the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape.

This is the story of how two dangerous men escaped a maximum security prison.

How all of this happened really comes down to two questions.

What would you do for love?

What would you do for a piece of art to hang on your wall?
