Iron bars, dark cells and imprisonment comes to one's mind when one hears the word jail. The history of imprisonment and prison is as old as human civilization. To keep those who act contrary to social rules, a system like prison and imprisonment would have been created. Later it was linked to law and order. Criminals are sent to jail or correction center to give them a chance to improve by keeping them away from the society or to punish them for the crime committed.
There are hundreds of such prisons in the world which are considered to be the most secure. The most dreaded criminals are kept in such jails. But there have been some criminals, whom even the jail has not been able to control. Such criminals have defied the security system many times by escaping from the jail. Today we are telling you such famous incidents of the world, where a jail was broken into.

John Herbert Dillinger Jr. was an American bank robber who escaped prison twice in his life. After robbing two banks, he was imprisoned in Lima in 1933. There he befriended some vicious criminals who, after being released, returned to the same prison disguised as prison officers and got Dillinger released from prison. A year later, he was recaptured and sent to Crown Point Prison, which was famous for not being able to escape.
