Had Andrew Rodger, Keith Rose, and Matthew Williams chosen a different path in life, they could have had some pretty successful careers in tool making. The three men escaped from the Parkhurst Prison (above) in the UK in 1995.

The trio made a 25-foot-long steel ladder which they used to scale the fence. They also made a working gun in the metal shop and a key which could unlock every door and gate in prison. Officials believe they were able to do so from memory by seeing a guard’s key. The three men were able to simply walk out of this prison. Their freedom was short-lived, and they were apprehended four days later.
