TIL Steven Russell escaped from prison by using laxatives to fake AIDS, then called the prison posing as a doctor, asking for prisoners interested in an experimental treatment, and volunteered.
Once out of Texas, he sent a death certificate to the prison stating he had died.

In my country the act of escaping from prison is not punishable (doing illegal things while escaping is). I’ve never realized that that’s not the case in all countries. Escaping is considered to be a natural act of pursuing freedom and it’s the task of the prison system to keep it from happening.
Somebody dumped all their skill points into speech
I missed the part about returning as a doctor and experimental treatment somehow.
