    With all the Big Brother cameras in NYC, I wouldn't consider it easier to disappear there.

    If they were going to run for the border anyway, how about the foreign country that was, like, 20 miles away from the prison they broke out of?

    Minnesota is a long way from upstate New York.

    You would think, but every guard on that border is probably on the lookout for them and likely would extradite them in a second if they caught them in Canada.
    If you can break containment, so to speak, and get on the road to Mexico, the crossing is probably easier and extradition a bit tougher. Kind of like taking the longer, safer way instead of the dangerous shortcut. Of course, the plan goes to hell once you can't get out of New York. Next thing you know, you're seeing stuff like this:

    That was enough for Quaid. He high-tailed it to Canuckistan instead.

    I guess the lesson to be learned here is if you're a murderer and you're gonna' break out, don't pick another murderer as your partner. Find some asshole who can at least hotwire a car.

    These guys spent years on the escape plan and like seconds on what they'd do when they got out of that manhole. But they didn't do all that badly, three weeks is a pretty long time to spend roughing it in the Adirondacks. Tip to wannabe prison escapees. Spend some of your planning time memorizing the Boy Scout Handbook for your future outdoor life.

    “They would kill Mitchell’s husband and then get in the car and drive to Mexico on the theory that Mitchell was in love with one or both of them, and then they would go live happily ever after, which is a fairy tale that I wasn’t read as a child,” the governor said.

    I talked to a friend of mine who grew up around that area, and she said the forest is so dense that it's entirely possible they were trying to get to Canada on foot and got lost and spun around a few times and ended up just going in circles.

    You'd think, with the acumen it took to break out in the first place, that might've occurred to one of them prior to getting out.
