The Man No Prison Can Keep Locked Up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Prison is a place men go to rot away for their crimes, but not this man. In today's crazy video we're going to share the story of Mark DeFriest, nicknamed "The Houdini of Florida" for his incredibly innovative and successful escapes from prison, but DeFriest never could find away to stay free and always wound up back in prison. Some of his crazy prison escapes involved fashioning a homemade gun out of scraps from the wood shop, to hot-wiring an escape vehicle, this story has it all!

This guy never deserved being jailed or imprisoned. From his childhood he had potential to achieve greatness later in his life.
American justice system 😀👍
Hmmmm I wonder if there are people that get that treatment commonly for no reason I wonder
Professor Brandon yep the muslims in the consentration camps in china are you should do some research on it for yourself to know :)
That guy who was in prison was my brother :(
@70XZ0 70XZ0 Really???
this is one of the saddest stories i've ever heard. This man, instead of receiving the psychological help he needed, was imprisoned.
just USA prisons working great
agreed
@@patek92 no the usa prisons work as poorly intended.
@@errabbitc i was sarcastic
@Isaac Chen 82% of prisoners are going to be prisoners again, and im not even talked about what innocent people get. there is no success
I actually feel incredibly bad for this guy, his stepmom deserves more than what he's got
What
@@ragnareikrem3197 he meant his step mom deserves to be in jail like what happened to him but worse
@@jsxm.2559 alright, ill believe you even tho there isnt any proof of this but it seems logical.
@@ragnareikrem3197 dude she literally arrested his son by a box tool that he did nothing
@@samuelfernandesoliveira I am aware, if you didnt already see it i already had someome explain it to me.
This is really sad because the reason why he was sent to jail was because he didn't understand how a will worked
yeah...and I have high functioning autism (aka aspergers) like that kid so I can relate to his struggles...
But he also didn't deserve to go the only reason being he went is due to his dumb step mom
And due to a bad law system that didn't help defend him. Even with the psychiatrists saying he was unfit to stand trial.
Ignorance is not an excuse for a crime in the eyes of the law sadly
@@monkeymayEH Yeah but they still could have tried to help him instead of locking him up and basically torturing him...
Nah man I wasn’t on acid, I don’t even drink coffee, I just hate clothes dryers
Why won't anyone get this? Those things are obvious beasts that must be put down.
Bro... I thought I was the only one...
The devils they are out for us!
Bsdk
Yeah
‘A clothes dryer had been ripped apart; or in one mans eyes, defeated.’ - What a line
Hahaha, had the exaxt same thought
Literally the one and only funny part of this horrific story 😢
Man: Claims will left by his father. Justice system: life in prison
Nathan Bohmfalk well I mean he left jail and ran
Joe mamma
...Because he shouldn’t have been imprisoned.
Well he probably would have gotten a shorter sentence not saying it was right for him to go to jail
Joe mamma
It was said a billion times that he had certain problems understanding the rules of trial and prison, so he would not have known that.
WE DONT HAVE SAGE NATHAN GIVE UP !!!
imagine if they let him keep his father's tools...maybe...he would have never went to jail, and have a happy life, working at what he liked doing...
Imagine if the step mom wasn't a b*tch
@@Truthorfib lol
Indeed, but she got her son arrested in jail until his hair is grey, He couldn't even do anything he wanted to do, He just went to jail, All he wants is his father toolbox, Instead he get jail
what do you mean "let"? they were his now.
@@zerotwoisreal under the law, they were not...that's why he got in a legal beef.
His stepmom should be thrown in solitary confinement for 27 years and he should go free.
She should spend the rest of her life in there, which probably isn’t long if she’s still alive.
@@legalza0843 Yh
I say 40
uhhhh no. He should instead sue her for falsely accusing him of theft
800 YEARS. AND TORUTURED. EVERY. SINGLE. HOUR.
Now that's a person who is innovative.
He didn't deserve prison.
His step mum is an evil person.
She wouldnt even deserve the title of step mom at all
@@trollrat2828 the step mother probably just would've sold the tools
The step mom should be in jail
The most evil is american system
Like think of what he could have become if he wasn’t arrested
He had a brilliant mind. It's so sad to see his life destroyed over the tools which was rightfully his anyway
Yep, just wasted potential
I'm still confused as to what he did that sent him to jail.
Man, it was the saddest history ever! D:
Actually, read the book "What is the What" about this guy from the Sudan who's family was massacred when he was 10ish and had to travel on foot across a country to freedom avoiding death and loss all the while. Amazing someone could live through that.
I'll look for it. Thanks.
@@baileymoore7779 I red that book when I was young, I'd say this is sadder tho
Happiest man on death row was sadder
Slavery. I win
All over a vain step-mother. Shame.
so many likes not even a single reply (not included me)
A very evil step mom
A Karen
OK SUNSHINE
Peter Tarvydas Ok Boomer
This is absolutely cruel. He should have NEVER been in jail in the first place.
Thanks cops and judges for this.
Therefore the cop should have been defunded many more times than once for the suffering of this kid.
@@chiiika.ayyAtHK yup
@@chiiika.ayyAtHK I never understood why people say that though. If the cops are doing a bad job and we defund them wouldn’t it probably just get worse?
@@PandaLegacy No because those funds would go to more trained people to deal with people like this guy. Cops at the moment handle literally everything from mental health episodes to people having a bad drug trip to traffic stops to directing traffic to escorting VIPs to domestic abuse situations to petty white collar arguments to riot control to active shooter situations to robberies to drug busts and many more, all of these responsibilities on the backing of 7 months of jumping through tires and shooting guns at a range. Cops are not trained for even 10% of the duties they currently preform and police funding is instead of providing the police more training for more specialized and tactful response situations provides them more tools for just shooting or beating their problems.
Defunding the police isn't about getting rid of police, it's about getting rid of all the funding police receive and diverting that funding to specialized response personnel because if somebody is having a schizophrenic episode in the streets the police will be called but the police are not trained for dealing with a schizophrenic person they will instead act like they've been trained, like brutes with guns who will not approach the situation properly and lay on unnecessary charges based on their completely justified response to seeing 6 people with guns jump them in a back alley while they are having the worst day of their life.
Imagine everything that would’ve been invented if this didn’t happen
Oh my god , that dam bitc( female dog) of a person.
I'm %110 on Mark's side in this matter. What the system has done to him is incredulous and exectable.
I agree, the system is complete garbage. I would like to live on a different galaxy please.
No. It was unfair at first. But when he pointed the gun at people, that is an actual crime that should be punished. But what actually happened is completely unfair
@@kyloluma1212 I think, considering everything, being that level of upset, one can have a blind eye.
Kyloluma i thought they said he pointed a gun at the prison guards?
@@kyloluma1212 could you even blame him for that? The life he had to live was beyond. Yes, i know that it is a crime but he never injured anyone. The things that the system, inmates, and guards have done were beyond terrible
“This all started from a Karen calling the police”
always does
*a Karen calling the police on an autistic man. If he hadn’t been, the cops would have listened to him.
Not the Karen’s they seem to sneak everywhere
yea bu- bu- nooooooooo this is wrong
@@oppaloopa3698 wdym
This just makes me feel like crying. He deserves to escape
no he deserves his freedom + huge amount of compensation + karma for that karen
He's innocent and naive and his stepmom should be in jail for false accusation.
False accusation isn't a real thing, and it technically was theft. Doesn't mean I agree with it. Just facts.
@Saima Riaz It technically was theft, although I'm going off the Massachusetts law books for the non-existence of false accusation. If you could provide a reference that would be great.
@@randomcake1435 Law is flawed. Some judges are stone hearted. We have to put our morals above the law.
@@randomcake1435 In MA, it is a misdemeanor to knowingly report false information to police. In addition to up to one year in jail, you may also face a civil lawsuit for falsely accusing another person of a crime. False accusations can result in emotional distress and suffering on the part of the person being accuse
@@randomcake1435 investigate the things you are saying.
He SHOULD NOT be in jail, the justice system owes him freedom and reperations for his injust and cruel treatment. Please let me know if there is a petition to sign!
Look here princess Florida state prison and many other prisons got thousands of innocent people behind bars being spit on by COs and in some instances killed by the COs and nothing is done but white America isn’t ready for that convo.
@@my-1903 LOL
MY-190 ofc you are going to make it a race issue .... notice that its black people that do that ... its like ur the racists or smth 🤔
Rigers Pellumbi because there’s so many black people in prison many of which doesn’t have significant evidence against them, you wouldn’t understand tho.
@@my-1903 Oh that makes it okay. A lot of people are innocent behind bars so i guess it's useless to fight back.
This is so tragic. His step "mom" deserves to go down in history as one of the examples of a textbook definition Evil Step-Mom.
I love how he could say "this washing machine became his mortal enemy" with a straight face🤣🤣🤣
Ok but for all we know he was laughing hysterically between takes and had the dumbest smile that you could possibly see on his face.
I can’t stop laughing. “A clothes dryer had been ripped apart… and in one man’s eyes… defeated.” 😂 they’re dragging the guy away as he’s still swinging.
That guy is a legend
Quick question. Why does a psychiatric hospital have LSD just laying in a cabinet?
Probably to slowly detox addicts that are so addicted that they experience dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
So the doctor don't go insane
@@medexamtoolscom true but you know there probaly doctor who be making money from it
@anysimmers thank I was wondering. I feel like some doctor might sell them just like some police officer sell drug they get from raid.
Remember this was a kind of a long time ago so people weren't as secure.
I feel really bad for him... He's very talented and innocent too🥺
Why is he still in prison if everyone knows he is innocent
because amurica
America, i guess
Because of private prisons. Some, if not all states have a quota deal with private entities running prisons. If they're not filled up to a % of their capacity then the states have to pay penalties, usually in the tens of millions of $$$. The US (in)justice system has no incentive to rehabilitate and release prisoners.
Probably because all of the other crimes he committed. Ijs
He is not
Mark deserves all the tools in the world for what he's been through
Imagine taking this man to a Home Depot.
@@YukariAkiyama lol he could prob actually work there
@JAKE JACOB DRILO he only used it for harm to escape prison
What is his full name?
He’s literally innocent, well the first time he went to jail. His dad wanted to give him his box of tools but his step mom called the cops on him because he took the tools, but his father let him do that
I hope the mother suffered badly. He didn't deserve this :'(
Yeah but it was his step mom and you know how much step moms are rude to dads children and they would wait till his dad died to call the police on the smallest mistake EVER in which case it happened here
That was unfair, all he did was take some tools because he didnt know he couldn't
oh yeah, and his stepmom was evil.
they where hes tools anyway
Yeah
@Jade Fire, unfortunately, they were not his yet, LEGALLY. Morally, yes. Legally, not yet. The stepmother obviously hated her stepson more than she loved and respected her deceased husband.
@@KyraDestinyCR huh? U think her stepmom loved anybody?
@@sarangisoutrik3850, I honestly doubt it but I'm leaving room for the possibility that she did have SOME love/affection for her late husband.
"A clothes dryer had been destroyed, and in one man's eyes, defeated"
That is one of the best quotes I've ever heard
Just imagine how many people they have done this to. This is pure evil in its truest form
TAR LOVE xxx3
I hope they die by stabbing or bludgeoning
There's 1000s of people with stories like this. We don't have a justice system, we have an injustice system
humanity true colors humanity should just die and not exist
@MegaGangsra4life So..... Your proof?
lol lol or just , you know , prison reform ?
\-: uhmm this vid? Smh what a dumb question
MegaGangsta4life u can’t say that with a name like that
Why is he even sent to jail in the first place? Im blaming the Stepmother, guards and the prisoner gang.
Step mother all the way.
Mark:"Behold! My stuff!"
His stepmother: *"Our stuff"*
And everything went downhill from there
Looks like the stepmother is a communist
The stepmom went to the gulag
This could also be titled “another poor man who’s life was destroyed by a woman”...
In Soviet Russia, you do not use tools, tools use you XD
Stories like this really make me feel unconfident in humanity..
This is the saddest story ever. I can’t believe the judge sentenced him to begin with. They were in the will.
My heart aches hearing how badly this man's life was ruined by his step mother and the system. Your pretty smile cheered me up just a little though.
That step mother really gonna pay for her sins one day it's just sad what happened to mark 😕
AND MINE xxx3
😞
Inshallah in judgement day

Unrelated to the comment but it reminds me a lot of the Central Park Five.
I like the Japanese guy who escaped under 24 hours armed surveillance without hurting a soul on one occasion: used miso soup to break a lock, climbed up his sheer 90 degree wall of his cell, to get to the ceiling to escape, as well as several other exploits, and then turned himself in and helped greatly change and improve the Japanese legal system
Who that?
I heard of him too , another innocent man behind bars .
Yoshie Shiratori. When I saw the title I thought this meant him. He did it even better.
The Escape Magician.
Yes@@notslavaboo
27 years of solitary confinement is probably the harshest punishment in the history of mankind for an outcome that started by punishing someone ridiculously over the top for "stealing" tools.
Someone should give a paper to the stepmom saying: Achievement Unlocked: Being the biggest Karen in the worlds history.
More like being the worlds biggest c-word.
Tf is a c word

Sounds just about American
step mom is very evil
I mean...its kinda called grave robbing....plus the kid had no idea how a will works plus the fact he went through all that and everybody only ever called him mental when he was cleary destained for greatness.
This guys amazing!!! Cutting keys from memory, AND out of paper too!? Wow...just wow 🤯🤯🤯
None of this would have happened if his mom wasn’t such a Karen.
Edit: *stepmom
Legit i wonder where his mother is now
Amin dead.
• C H O C O • died painfully
Karen's ruin earth honestly this poor guys life sound slike misery
Just like most of step moms. My mother's step mom is just like similar to that
The fact that no one acknowledged initially that he was autistic and had only taken what he thought was already his is wild. There is absolutely no mens rea (guilty mind) in doing that, and would normally result in no conviction had anyone pointed it out. Even him running is fully explained by autism. This is why we need mental health professionals on more cases.
It should have just resulted in him having to return the tools until probate was finished. If there was a compassionate judge, the judge could have just dropped the charges and let him keep the tools.
I don't know what weapon he was in possession of, so maybe that part was his bad, but he needed legal and mental help in understanding how to function in society (and probably a list of things he can own). Even then though, try telling an autistic person in fight or flight to not behave instinctually when they are scared or to not work on their hobby. That is so hard to teach.
He needed a place to do those things productively with the right support and guidance. The prison and police systems are so broken, not just for issues with ableism and egoism, but so many other forms of misaligned power.
We need better psychological evaluations for police officers, prison employees, and civilians. We also need better training and professionals on call for various forms of oversight in the handling of arrests, legal proceedings, and rehabilitation. It'd be cool to see representatives for major demographics whose job is to ensure fair and equal process and treatment.
around 6:50 I think one psychologist had some understanding on how mark thinks but no one really cared
Man that’s just brutal 😢😢
"The man no prison can keep locked up," Yoshie Shiratori would like to have a word with you.

He doesnt understand what hes doing wrong! Honestly the court treated him wrong
Honestly I'm getting to the very end of the video it made me cry since ei feel so bad for him he littraly doesnt understand what he is doing wrong
There is no reparation, reconsolidation, or reprise that will return to him what he will now never have. The time taken from him is immutable and the damage done to him is permanent. No amount of remorse or regret could or would ever change the outcome for this human they destroyed.
“A clothes dryer had been ripped apart,in ones mans eye,defeated”
*Hilarious*

He deserves so much better, poor guy :(
Kid:inherits his dads tools
His step mom:wait that’s illegal
I had school security throw me to the ground in middle school because I didn’t verbally reply or stop bouncing up and down. Wanna know why I didn’t stop? It’s because I couldn’t. I’m autistic and was very overwhelmed by their harassment. I had never gotten in trouble at school, let alone with the cops.
