Matt Roush says...
The Shawshank Redemption star returns to host the docuseries’ second season, recreating legendary breakouts. The opener is set at Mississippi’s notorious prison farm Parchman Penitentiary where a loner inmate, who dreams of writing crime novels, ends up living out a book-worthy escape of his own. Future episodes depict escapes from Devil’s Island and WWII’s Sobibor Death Camp.
