How He Survived 7 Years in the World’s Toughest Prison

All right.

Now, the bigger pieces that we couldn't get rid of because there were some chunks that you're taking out from the dirt.

Once you get down and you're digging this tunnel, you're coming upon like blocks and rocks and things you can't break through and things you got to shovel through another way because there's this huge rock that you can't break through it.

Those pieces we would take out and at night we would go dump it in this huge like there was like this hole.

I would say it was like like the gutters, the drains here for like the rain.

But it was just a huge hole in the patio that you could just go and dump it and people would throw garbage in it, anything and just disappear.

So we're doing this tunnel.

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

We're doing it.

We're doing it.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

We went through the side wall.

So I had a refrigerator in my cell, right, that I would put up against the side wall.

Now, when the guards would come in to do a search, they would come in with huge metal bars and they would start banging on the floor to make sure that nothing on the floor was hollow.

Right.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So I got that.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

And that's why we made the hole through the side wall.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

The side wall between cells is probably like three feet wide.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So we started digging into the wall, and then we dropped down.

Once we dropped down about four feet, again, this prison's so old, underneath it, it was like Swiss cheese.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So we're digging, and we fell into a tunnel.

So as we're digging, we fall into something that's already made, had semi-constructed wood holding up the walls like Chapo style.
