Glad to see that the NY state prison escape was resolved over the weekend.
It made me think of two stories (both favorites) by SK that could be compared to the drama of the story:
Shawshank Redemption: Obvious choice but the details are eerily similar. Cutting through the back of the cell, moving across and down a catwalk, then breaking into a sewer line and then "crawling through foulness I can't even imagine". Both set of escapees were heading for a border but in different directions.
Running Man: Another great story and these prisoners (like Ben Richards) had a 10-12 hour head start before all hell broke loose and the manhunt began. Of course, Sweat and Matt weren't earning money and the ending was different, but somewhat comparable.
Anyways, just food for thought.....
