Danelo Cavalcante is 5 feet tall and weighs about 120 pounds. He climbed out of a Pennsylvania prison by walking up two walls like a spider. In the video below, you can see the exact moment. It took about seven seconds. He braced his hands against the wall, walked his feet up sideways, crossed the razor wire and jumped off the roof. He was waiting to be moved to a state prison. A jury had just given him life for stabbing his ex-girlfriend Deborah Brandão in front of her children. Prosecutors said he killed her so she couldn't tell police he was wanted for a 2017 killing in Brazil. Guards noticed he was missing about 50 minutes after he climbed. For 14 days he ran. He shaved, changed clothes and stole a van. He left a peach, an apple and some snap peas in a stranger's kitchen. A homeowner shot at him while he tried to steal a rifle. Helicopters played a recording of his mother begging him in Portuguese to surrender. On September 13 police found him by heat signal. He was crawling through thick brush with a stolen rifle. A Border Patrol dog took him down. Not a single shot was fired. In 2024 he pleaded guilty to the escape and got 15 to 30 more years on top of life. Was it a perfect escape, or a prison that was never watching?
