About this listen

On this day in 2000, seven men executed one of the most shocking and well-coordinated prison escapes in American history. Known as the Texas Seven, the group walked out of a maximum-security facility in Kenedy, Texas — not in chaos, but with chilling precision.

Their escape from the John B. Connally Unit set off a nationwide manhunt and led to a violent crime spree that culminated in the murder of Irving police officer Aubrey Hawkins on Christmas Eve.

This episode revisits the escape, the elaborate planning behind it, the devastating aftermath, and the continuing legal reverberations — including recent developments in 2024.
