Overview

A one-time murderer and many-time thief, Richard Lee McNair is the only person ever to break out of jail, state penitentiary and federal penitentiary. Three escapes. McNair, a former US Air Force Sergeant, was 47 when he shipped himself out of a Louisiana prison on the 5th of April, 2006. His escape came to within a whisker of failing when he was confronted on railroad tracks by a policeman, an event recorded by the officer's dashcam. The encounter became a famous crime video clip on YouTube. Month after month, McNair was featured on America's Most Wanted and led newspaper and television newscasts in the United States and Canada. Through more than 350 letters and 3,500 hand-written pages from his solitary confinement cell at the 'Supermax' in Colorado, Richard McNair provides the never-before-known details on how he pulled off his three escapes, his encounters with police, and what can be best described as a semi-paranoid life on the lam. His Houdini-like escape in 2006 was the first from a federal prison in 13 years and there hasn't been one since. Is Richard Lee McNair the world's greatest escape artist? The reader can decide.
