Escape from the Maze: 1. H is for Hatred
Carlo Gebler navigates a path through the disturbing inside story of the biggest jailbreak in British and Irish history.
Eight prison blocks of hatred shaped like the letter 'H'...
It's supposed to be escape proof - the most secure prison in western Europe. The IRA is going to turn that on its head.
Across ten twisting and turning episodes, Carlo Gebler navigates a path through the disturbing inside story of the 1983 escape from Northern Ireland's Maze Prison - the biggest jailbreak ever to take place on British or Irish soil. As former IRA inmates reveal how they pull off a breakout that creates shockwaves at the heart of government - key prison officials explain why they're unable to stop them.
