The universe is working against you when a homeless man gives your evidence to the police. That’s beyond bad luck.

I love the fact that Lionel Wright got employed by the Corrections Canada! People can change if given the right opportunity

I love that serious tone when he announces "25 years in prison" for a double murder. Canadian justice!

Smartest bank robbers are the one with pen and paper.
They almost never get caught, and if they do, they get 2-5 year sentence and get released early on good behaviour. And all money still at their disposal.

I haven't seen this show before. I'm use to watching FBI Files, New Detectives, Crime Watch Daily & The First 48, but this one seems pretty good also.

Standing ovation to the cop that was convinced from one of the prisoners to stop and have fish and chips for lunch before he escaped 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣

Nixon, Einstein, and Lenin walk into a bank... sounds like the beginning of a great joke!

My brother-in-law went to high school with Susan Musgrave. His comment about her? 'Not impressed ... not impressed at all.' But he said that about a lot of people, maybe including me, after I visited them in their home in Victoria around 1980. Hahahahaha.

In old America you rob bank but in Soviet America bank robs you.

Sadly, with CCTV cameras everywhere, there's little chance any of us could get away with something like this now.

These Guys were legends in their own field especially the amount of Jobs their were able to pull and escapes from Prison, it was tradgic what happened for their relationships between themselves and their families.The only one I can think that came close was the postcard bandit Australia Brenden Abbott. Never killed anyone like the Stop watch Gang of Paddy Mitchell, Stephen Reid and Lionel Wright.
