Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

I mean, not in those times.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

Maybe now.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

I'm not sure.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

Okay.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

In those times, I don't think so.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

He was American.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

He was born in Queens, New York, right?

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

But he had family in Columbia.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So I'm pretty sure he left there and went to Columbia.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

And after that, I never heard from him again.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

Okay.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

But...

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

I'm about to drop a crazy story for you about that right now.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So, the night prior to the escape, you know, since me and Alex are boys, you know, he lives in B block, I live in D block.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So...

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

We can see each other from the gates, from our blocks.

After 5 p.m., everything's closed.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

So you have to stay inside your block.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

But you can still go to the front gate and, like, talk to somebody in B block or C block because you can see each other.

So I'm in my cell that night just chilling, you know, watching TV.
