it's a long it's a long and honestly this video pause was made possible by - lame now are - name for free if you never want to forget another password again at the link in the description you got it all MIDI Japan 1936 prisoner Yoshi a [ __ ] I thought he had had enough when Roosevelt was president second term our President Roosevelt and II heard he was forced to confess to a murder he did not commit falsely imprisoned in almaty prison beaten and tortured every night by prison guards and now worse prosecutors were seeking the death penalty in his mind it was time to go but al-mahdi prison wasn't usable beautiful scam called heartless yoshiya shiritori had nothing to lose and so at 5:30 a.m. he made his move he knew there would be a 15-minute gap in the patrol time as he had studied the guards routine for months and when the coast was clear he pulled out a metal wire which he had smuggled in from the bathhouse and started to pick the lock this was originally the metal support ring that was wrapped around the bathing buckets inmates used to wash themselves his hands were stiff from the wintry cold but after a few minutes of picking he had success and a cell door swung open where how did you learn it'll kick a lot though like what kind of people do you hang out with cuz picking or like in movies they're always make it look like you're just like and it opens right but you have to like figure that [ __ ] out do I do stuff yeah girl I only have 15 minutes to do it no yeah no hold on this is all the stuff you have 15 minutes to do and did by the way but he wasn't out of the woods yet that's because there are more locked doors ahead he knew he only had a few minutes left before the guards would return and so he wasted no time attempting to pick his way through the remaining security doors now fortunately for him he was able to make it out of the facility but he'll add news was that he was only half way to freedom he picked like four doors in 15 minutes and left Borough you see he was still well within the search perimeter which meant at any moment the alarm could go off and he'd still be caught at 5:45 a.m. the guards returned a hearing into a cell and this is what they saw shiritori sound asleep in his futon bed but of course what they didn't realize was that they were looking at something else a pile of loose floorboards underneath his duvet designed to trick them it wasn't until the next morning that they finally discovered the truth and the alarm was sounded but by then Sheila thought he was long gone sorry but if you've watched any of our previous videos you'll know that things aren't always as they seem and we have not watched any of your previous videos so this is like that I just mean like you know thanks for letting me know because I didn't know that well your Shayla Tory aka the Prison Break magician this was only the beginning three days later he was caught trying to steal supplies from a hospital and just like that he was back in the slammer but this time for his big attempt he was sentenced to life in prison he would never be with his family again his wife and his daughter and all the months of planning had led to just three days of freedom and now seemed he'd be locked up for a very long time six years later in 1942 in the midst of the Second World War when his atoms are transferred to Akita prison in Akita city there the guards treated him even worse than an alimony there heard about [ __ ] authorities previous escape and were determined to make an example out of him they wanted to make sure he would never escape again along with the usual beatings he was forced to partake in extreme manual labor made to sleep on the hard concrete floor in the severe winter cold and placed into solitary confinement for extended periods of time now this was a specially made solitary confinement cell which was very small and had a very high ceiling but the walls covered with copper sheets so smooth that it was impossible to grip in addition there was almost no sunlight even in the daytime with the only window light coming from a small sealed skylight high above this was a room designed to keep escape artists from escaping and right if that wasn't enough the guards also made sure that Shiratori was handcuffed at all times now despite the constant abuse one of the guards Kobayashi in fact that guard took pity on him this stuff those conditions for that kind of stuff make me sick to think about he goes back in with the 1940s and 50s like there's no like camera systems installed in these places you know so you know it's just as bad as you think it is right now living editions on terror Kobayashi never laid a finger and even seemed to check up on him from time to time concerned for his well-being perhaps this made life a little more bearable for shiritori and it might have even been what kept his will alive all the way to the night of June 15th it was a stormy night and Shiratori was in the middle of one of his extended stays in solitary confinement at around midnight one of the guards appeared into a cell and couldn't believe his eyes he opened a cell digger got around in astonishment as Yoshi shiritori had vanished into thin air all that was left was his handcuffs well there were a few assumptions the guards made that did not apply to shiritori for one handcuffs simply didn't work on him he said I thought he was actually a master of getting out of handcuffs me handcuffs don't work on you like they're metal bracelets how does that not work there was this girl that I used to know and she used to be able to hold her arms like this and then like bring him all the way around my dad was like so you can't handcuff her and I was like yeah you cannot handcuff somebody who could do that right yeah and in fact had several methods to choose from here he decided to go with the familiar lock picking method but he really could have gone with any of them he had thoroughly scoured his surroundings to find anything that could be abuse in an escape and just like in almaty prison he was able to uncover a bit of wire perhaps it was from one of the items Kobayashi brought him after freeing himself from the cuffs produced his palms and soles of his feet on the smooth copper sheets and started climbing the unclimbed world wall it turned out Shiratori was also an expert climber with an uncanny ability to scale like a lizard once he reached the skylight above he noticed that yes the window was sealed actually the wooden framing around it was starting to rock and so there after night after night when the guards weren't looking he climbed the copper walls and loosened the framing he would he would get out of his handcuffs scale an unscalable wall and just wiggle slip what did he use to make sure his hands are great imagine just looking at I guess you can just use tension sorry continue no you're good that's it's something to ponder imagine because we can't do that kind of stuff I might just look at a wall just be like I could just climb down yeah like I could just do that then some people feel we can like solve problems they can't solve or like you can read and understand stuff they can't really think it's the same concept it's just like I could do that you know but this guy's a different madman by bit I said words man he'd climb back down and place the handcuffs back on as to not arouse suspicion after a couple months the window finally came on and from there he did that was just about the right day he waited until a particular stormy night so the guards wouldn't hear the footsteps on the roof and that was it he had escaped from prison again and now this time he wouldn't be caught or at least not in the way you'd expect three months later on September 18 the head guard Kobayashi wasn't home when he heard a knock on the door nothing surprise it was the fugitive Yoshi a him why he went to the doom the head the head prison guard why and disheveled and he needed a favor a stunned Kobayashi took him in and fed him all the while listening to what he had to say Shelagh thought he explained that he didn't actually mind being in prison and that the only reason he escaped twice now was due to the tremendous abuse he suffered at the hands of the sadistic guards Kobayashi however was the only one who treated him with any amount of respect and so he felt he owed it to him to let him in on his grand plan now this plan involved shiritori willingly yes handing himself over to the Justice Department where he could then personally make a case for how corrupt and barbaric the Japanese prison system was and there needed to be reformed right to campaign for change process gained his legal freedom a through a civil lawsuit he felt this was the only way he could realistically end up with his family this of course was a super ambitious plan he wanted to be with his wife and kids man he still has seen his wife since then because of course you could skate from prison yeah you can't go back to your wife as I dude I just want to be with my family and I can't get clear to this if I just get a trial yeah you know yeah and they're being tortured as [ __ ] so I don't want to do my time because this is terrible right yeah as a fugitive on the run he was well aware of that which is why he needed kobayashi the well-respected head guard of Akita prison to vouch for him to strengthen his credibility as the only guard who ever treated him right he had a feeling kobayashi would do the right thing minutes later while Shiratori was in the toilet Kobayashi called the police called the police maybe not a very plan just like that [ __ ] authority was back in prison and again he vowed never to trust an officer of the law again right ii escaped the courthouse added three more years to his life sentence now sheriff tony requested to be sent to a Tokyo prison where the weather was warmer as he couldn't stand the cold in a northern prisons his previous stints had weakened him severely but he was denied his request instead the judge sentenced him to the infamous abashiri prison Wainright Oh super prison in Japan no man had ever escaped from this wintery hellhole of a prison it was now 1943 cells was below freezing point whenever inmates received their prison food the miso soup and soy sauce would often freeze up in this temperature a handcuffed shiritori was thrown into an open cell in summer clothing and he immediately felt the paralyzing sock full of cold air perhaps in a fit of desperation he tried to force himself past the guards but they were able to push him back and beat him down and enraged and defiant shiritori stood back up and vowed that he would escape from abashiri prison like he's always done and that there was nothing they could do about it there was little point even putting handcuffs on him as he'd always find a way to break free if not by lock picking then well this he then proceeded to rip apart the chain of his handcuffs to the horror of the guards it turned out shiritori had another special ability aside from his outstanding climbing abilities i also possessed incredible strength almost superhuman back in hockey to prison he could have broken free of the cuffs the physical way if he didn't have to put them back on now this year it wasn't so smart to lay his cards on the table like that as the guards were starting to build an escape profile on him they knew he had lock-picking abilities lizard-like climbing abilities and now almost superhumans yeah and so they set out to devise the ultimate escape-proof cell one that was sure to be [ __ ] a Tory proof and they came up this the new self had steel fixtures with a low chance of rocked any openings even the bars removed were made smaller than his body meaning there was no way he could physically fit through yet specially made solid iron handcuffs that tied his hands behind his back and leg cuffs that made him barely able to stand these cuffs weighed 20 kgs each and had no keyhole which meant they could not be locked picked and the only way they could be removed was by 2 metalwork specialists who would come once every few weeks to remove them in an arduous two-hour process he'd have to wear them weeks at a time that's [ __ ] at this point and only this point that he could even take a bath and he certainly needed one as weeks of being shackled up with no movement meant his cuff wounds were infested with maggots on top of that cold as it had already been it wasn't even peak winter yet any strength he would have left would surely be nullified by the upcoming freeze though just in case they still made sure to cut his already meager food portions in half and show you that was it right before shiritori this was too much as winter came he succumbed to his fate every day the guards would slide his meal through the opening and he'd be forced to grovel like a dog hand and leg cuffs made every action awkward and uncomfortable with even sleeping being a pain there was no doubt life in abashiri prison was absolute torture right now fast-forward [ __ ] I thought he was somehow able to survive through the winter and spring was coming this meant he was starting to get his strength back but still what could he really do he was literally in a bind months passed and well nothing seemed to happen then one night in August a guard in his office was doing some paperwork when he heard some shuffling on the roof he wasn't sure what it was but he decided to check on the prisoners as he looked inside [ __ ] I thought he's inescapable cell he was yeah who Tom better garments were neatly folded up Oh specially made of 20kg handcuffs and leg cuffs that would have required two specialists two hours to remove was placed on the side and shiritori was nowhere to be he had finally fulfilled his promise to the guards the alarm immediately sounded but despite the work everybody it seemed yeah this happen how did he escape from the fortress that was a Bocchetti prison well preparation had started six months earlier at the time he didn't have the strength or stamina to mount any sort of escape not to mention the restraints he was in but one thing he did have with time and patience every day the guards would slide his meal through and while he struggled to eat his food off the floor he always made sure to save a little bit of the miso soup in the corner you see every night he would Hubble awkwardly to the inspection window and splash a little of it on the steel frame he would also dab some on his handcuffs and leg cuffs now his intention was were the salt content of the miso soup to oxidize the screws and bolts eventually corroding and after a month decorative rusting through the iron actually worked and the first group came out the next few months old screws and bolts coming loose assisted by the use of the first screw as a sort of screwdriver by the end of spring he was able to fully remove his handcuffs and leg cuffs as well as the steel frame especially there was a problem the size of the opening was smaller than his body which meant he couldn't fit through the contingency thought out by the guards what they didn't account for though was chittitalli's fourth ability which he won't be able to dislocate his joints at will with this he was now able to slide through the opening like a caterpillar this repertoire of skills thus surely making him an honorary member of the x-men with that yeah pop you have to pop your shoulders loose maybe it may be part of his hip to get through maybe you just had small hips yeah it's crazy he climbs through a broken right in the roof and vanished impressively shiritori had now escaped from a presence as well as being the only man to ever escape Hashimi now good on him for escaping but this was northern Hokkaido and the only direction he could have gone to was the cold snowy mountains right actually the prison guards felt that they had the last laugh because if the cold didn't get him the mountain bears certainly would despite this likelihood there was one person who stayed hopeful and that was chittitalli's wife but she was still worried because even if he was alive she knew he wouldn't be able to make it back to his family as the authorities would be constantly on his tail which is why she was desperately and secretly hoping that Japan would lose the war as that would enable the u.s. to take over the country meaning everyone would likely forget about her husband of course she kept this to herself but then a year later in August 1945 she got her wish in a terrible awful way yeah yeah the Americans had now taken over the country's penitentiary system and sweeping changes were no redoing it did seem perhaps that the manhunt for Yoshida thought he had now taken a backseat yet the question remained where was he and was he even alive the answer was yes he was alive and living a solitary life this time self-imposed it turned out he had discovered an abandoned mine on a mountainside into al-qaida wilderness I was able to make a home for himself for food he lived off nuts and berries wild rabbits and raccoons and was even able to learn to catch crabs from a stream by observing the habits of bears life was steady and safe but after a while curiosity got the better of him and so after two years of isolation he made his way down the mountain to a nearby village why does he not go crazy the posters dude had vanished and even more strange young Japanese girls were holding hands with American soldiers what on earth was going on he grabbed a newspaper that had been set aside flipped through the pages and it was only then that he found out about the atomic bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan had surrendered the previous year and he couldn't believe it as with his wife he felt it was now pointless to hide and so bid farewell to his old hunter-gatherer lifestyle he headed south of abashiri for the next fifty days until he reached the city of Sapporo at this point he was starving so he found himself a nice ripe tomato from a nearby field which was a huge mistake farmer had spotted him and mistook him for a well-known local thief which led to a scuffle resulting in the farmers abdomen being pierced by a blade sadly he bled out and died but not before shiritori was arrested for the crime it wasn't long until police found out that they in fact had the infamous Yoshi authorities there are multiple escapes and having now murdered the farmer despite his claims of self-defense he was sentenced to death by the district court of Sapporo and in 1947 he was sent to suffer prison to await execution two years wouldn't pass at this time while on death row he was placed under 24-hour surveillance with six armed guards personally assigned to his watch as for the cell itself it was upgraded further from the one in abashiri prison with reinforced doors ceilings bars windows in fact any openings were made smaller than the size of his head not just his body learning and Yamashita escape as while he may be able to dislocate his joints he certainly can't dislocate his skull kambera head can't fit they were good the six guards were so confident in fact that they didn't even bother cuffing him now Sheila thought he was getting old and the odds Academy point is looking slim as his execution loomed near there was little he could really do and the guards knew that they could see the desperation on his face looking up searching for an escape plan that they knew would never come though still just in case they made sure to search his room ever night while he was takin a bath in the bathhouse inspecting the ceiling skylight and any other openings a month past and winter was now coming weakening him further and the realization was starting to dawn on him he grew increasingly despondent staying in bed refusing to wake up despite the orders of the guards this went on for a while until one morning the guards had enough and entered the cell to discipline him they slipped over the duvet and he was gone this time going back to when he was first placed under 24-hour surveillance that are the six armed guards personally assigned to his watch he had in fact conditioned them to look up and keep up from the very start not just because his previous escape attempts involved climbing through skylight windows on ceilings but also his suspicious yet as it turned out very intentional behavior of constantly looking up to figure out an escape plan little did they know it was all an act and that he already had one but it would be taking place precisely where they weren't looking you said it turned out the authorities were so concerned with him escaping through a window or skylight that they neglected to reinforce the bottom part this ironically ended up being his easiest and simplest escape because all he had to do is remove the bolted floorboards which wasn't easy but he had experience and using random cutlery and a miso soup bowl dig his way to freedom this took over a month and he was able to hide his activities due to a the guards not suspecting this approach and be the floorboard panels being put back in place every night after digging the six guards good on him even at night but with the hole consistently positioned underneath the futon and duvet and at increasingly becoming the norm to refuse the orders of the guards to wake up nothing seemed out of the ordinary placing a pile of loose floorboards underneath the duvet to join the narrative a callback to his first prison escape in harmony so he had now escaped from prison or and by this point the story is starting to get ridiculous but this perpetual cycle of capture and escaped capture an escape with about to end I guess our later 94 yeah shiritori was exhausted he was in his 40s now and this was a young man's game one day in the Kootenai neighborhood still in Sapporo as he stopped to rest a policeman just happened to sit by his side for smoke he didn't know whose [ __ ] I thought he was but he struck up a conversation with him Sheila Tony of course was wary of his presence and tried to play it cool all the while attempting to figure out a way to remove himself from the situation we're acting suspicious suddenly the policeman did something unexpected at least to him he pulled out another cigarette and offered it to him Sheila Tori was stunned you see cigarettes were expensive luxury items in Japan at the time and the fact that someone offered it to him just out of the kindness of his heart brought tears to his eyes not to mention all his life he had been abused and mistreated by officers of the law with even the head guard Kobayashi turning his back on him and here was an instance of an officer treating him kindly with respect and with no prejudgment as he smoked the cigarette shiritori couldn't help but tell the officer his full name Yoshi a Sheila Tony and that he had escaped from supernal prison last year isn't four times in his life it was strangely a relief processed at this point you know I mean ready for the consequences after the Kobayashi incident he had vowed never to trust another officer of the law again but the simple act of receiving a cigarette from a stranger broke him of course he was arrested again but this time things were different maybe it was the fact that he willingly gave himself up or that Japan's justice system was going through a change but the High Court of Sapporo became sympathetic to Sheila Tori's plight and some of his past claims were recognized such as acknowledging the farmers death as a legitimate case of self-defense they also made note that throughout all four of his prison escapes he didn't kill or injure a single guard despite the abuse he may have suffered at their hands at the end of the deliberation the High Court dismissed the murder charge revoking his death sentence and instead sentenced him to just 20 years in further they approved his request to be transferred to a Tokyo prison where the weather was warmer he was getting what he wanted in Tokyo he was sent to four to prison where for the first time the guys actually treated him well was failing there were all these precautions and security measures in place to ensure that the infamous prison break magician wouldn't escape but the truth was shiritori didn't really care anymore everything he'd been fighting against the mistreatment from guards the death penalty even a northern climate was no longer of concern and he was at peace there was no new land to escape as a model prisoner just 14 years later in 1961 he was released on parole and for the first time in a long time he was truly a free man he decided to head back to Almaty where it all began and meet up with his daughter who by this point unfortunately was the only family member he imagined ever gonna see his wife Sarah thought he became a legend and antihero in Japan yeah it was very much the opposite for the country's penitentiary system which had somehow allowed him to escape time and time again all right this was a national embarrassment for Japan but just as preventing criminals from breaking out of the system is vital for the safety of society so was preventing oh damn looking good that's crazy he only wanted to get out so he could see his wife you always show me something sad [ __ ] why didn't he just go see her during the three months he we've gone he could have snuck over to see her you know I think it's just to keep his family safe because then if he gets caught with her something like that maybe she goes to prison also yeah I feel it yes I think at that point he just knows too much he just knows it's just not the right decision can't do it and I think in his heart but he really didn't care about the time he had to serve he's just like I just don't want to be tortured while I'm not here like and I served my time and these yeah I'm just sitting here right start beating me and stuff I don't believe [ __ ] that I wonder what day he decided like I'm done with it yeah I'm not gonna do this wet they're working young people working in the mines yeah one day he's like no this ain't gonna be me so that's crazy that's crazy that's pretty nuts you know it's so funny because I've been looking at this you know video yeah length really kept me from ah yeah me too it was it's really good that's crazy good actually yeah they suggested to me all the time - I've never clicked on it I'm fine I was just like [ __ ] it yes sure I like [ __ ] it was watching Wow amazing thank you for showing me this video Rocky uh can we go play a battle royale huh yes let's do it
