I’m looking for recommendations for some great prison escape books. I’ve read Shawshank Redemption and loved it, as well as the classic The Count of Monte Cristo. However, I was disappointed by Escape from Alcatraz by J. Campbell Bruce, as it focused more on the prison itself and barely covered the escape. Any really good suggestions for books that are similar to Shawshank Redemption or more like the movie Escape from Alcatraz?

The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freedland. About one of the few prisoners ever to escape Auschwitz. Non-fiction but reads like a thriller.
