In our story about the Dark Master of Escape, Steve Santini, he talked about his upcoming attempt to break out a Canadian Death Row cell from which there had never been an escape. With the National Media watching him every step of the way, Steve beat the death row cell in 8 minutes and 30 seconds.
"This escape was very interesting because after I had been searched and the cell had been searched and I was fully manacled, the media, and there were at least 5 T.V. networks, 3 radio stations, and 4 newspapers there, asked if I would attempt the escape in full view. They basically said that they had seen enough fake escapes on T.V. and wanted to be sure I could do it for real and in full view or they would not stay to cover it. So... for the FIRST TIME ever in the world an escape artist, me, agreed to try a prison cell escape in full view. This created a sensation and I explained how I did it step by step with no tools, picks, keys, or gimmicked gear and only using contortion, pain control, and the restraints themselves as tools to open other locks and restraints!
I freed both myself and the Mayor of Trois Rivieres from his cell in a total of 8 minutes and 30 seconds. All this from a prison that has never lost a prisoner in over 150 years!"
