The game inmate trying to escape

It is possible to believe that when an offender is incarcerated, escape attempts compete with attempts to avoid them.

Think of a sport that attracts a lot of attention of a few people who know each other, are appreciated, respected, forming almost a family.

Every so often there is a tournament that raises the interest of the fans and players.

The game is so special that includes not only physical skills, but also intelligence, powers of observation, ability to make new friends, negotiate, bribe.

Players of the game have to be equipped with much ingenuity, dexterity, acting ability, almost photographic memory, fatigue, pain.

The particularities of the game demand strength, nerves of steel, creative problem solving known and unknown, as always with original solutions, opponents in the championship may later realize what were the strategies used to overcome them.

This preamble intended to show a comparison to something that happened to explain immediately.

It is likely that some prisoners commit crimes because they enjoy most is the competition against penal institution to which they were intended.

When I mention the "championship" I mean a struggle between the interests of the institution and intend to keep him in prison for the escape: this is competition.

The fans are the rest of the criminals who await the triumph of "colleague", plus an unknown number of people (ordinary citizens) that, secretly, they rejoice when they hear that a prisoner manages to escape.

The media also participate as any other championship, reporting only when it starts (when the offender is caught and convicted) and then at the end, report when the "championship" is earned by the inmate (reporting on the leak) .

The illogical psychotherapy are willing to believe that this actually happens.
