So you have a convict. They have been caught, and they are going to the slammer. Justice has been served. Right? If the convict is a Prison Escape Artist, then absolutely not. To them, prisons might as well be made of cardboard. They can wiggle their way out of anything. Yes, even prisons that are supposedly impossible to break out of such as The Alcatraz. If you build a Tailor-Made Prison just for them, it will fail. Several methods can be used to achieve their escapes, including digging their way out, making use of air vents, and having some friends come in disguised as guards, among others. Needless to say, they often play a role in a Great Escape, and may lend a Wrongly Accused protagonist a hand if they aren't evil and happen to like said protagonist. If they never get caught again, they might organize escape attempts for other prisoners. Compare and contrast Play-Along Prisoner, as a Prison Escape Artist doesn't necessarily have to be able to escape at any time. Some may just seek out opportunities. Note: This trope is not simply someone who escapes from prison. This is someone who has escaped and/or has helped others escape more than once, either prior to or during the story. |

Anders from Dragon Age has escaped from the Circle Tower (which is on an island in the middle of a lake and heavily guarded by armed and armored Templars with Anti-Magic) seven times. Of course, he kept getting recaptured, and once spent a year in solitary, but... | |

Nova: The one-off villain Abyss is stated to be able to escape from anything and anywhere, no matter how secure. His archenemies, the Luminals, have defeated and imprisoned him countless times, but he always manages to come back. They even try to get rid of him permanently by stuffing him into a power-nullifying containment unit and chucking him into the nothingness at the literal edge of the universe, but we never get to find out if this would have worked. | |

Lupin III: The Italian Adventure a.k.a. Part 4 a.k.a. the "Blue Jacket" series, has Lupin willingly get captured by Zenigata in order to spare Rebecca from being caught. He makes multiple attempts at escaping, knowing that Zenigata is there at every turn to beef up security. Eventually, he gets put inside an isolated Tailor-Made Prison that cannot be opened through any means besides Zenigata himself. Lupin acts increasingly depressed, giving up the will to live, and just accepting his fate that he's finally been caught once and for all. He refuses to eat any of the meals that Zenigata cooks up. Zenigata is increasingly worried about his behavior because, under Italian law, he's not allowed to let a prisoner die if there are any ways to prevent it. Eventually, he looks through to the slot in the prison door to see Lupin seemingly dead, and he opens the door to find that he'd been tricked by an elaborate optical illusion that Lupin painted onto the floor using the meals he never ate. Lupin hid in the corner above the door and slipped out, locking up Zenigata in the process, and going about on his way. | |

In Strange Psychokinetic Strategy, Fujiko needs Lupin's help to escape from jail. He promises to do so in exchange for a date. Of course, just because he's successful doesn't mean that he's going to receive anything nice in repayment. (He gets Mugged for Disguise and left in her prison uniform for the police to capture.) | |

The Joker is this among other things. Not only does he often break out of Arkham, he initiated a jailbreak from The Slab during The Last Laugh storyline. In the case of The Slab, no-one had been able to escape from it before. Even when he was put in a room with no entrances or exits, he still escaped... somehow. | |

Discworld: Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent gives us Tinhead Ned, based loosely on the real-life Ned Kelly and Jack Sheppard. Sir Pterry's Ned was an inveterate sheep thief who kept getting caught, but who kept escaping just before he was hanged. Eventually they stopped locking him up and just hanged him as soon as they caught up with him. But Rincewind learns his secret when he himself is locked in Ned's cell. Not only are the hinges on the inside of the door, but they're simple pin hinges. Any prisoner can just lift the door straight out of the hinges, then slot it back in place once he's out. | |

Batman: The Spook's original shtick was offering criminals incarceration insurance: promising that he could break them out of any prison if they were caught. The Joker is this among other things. Not only does he often break out of Arkham, he initiated a jailbreak from The Slab during The Last Laugh storyline. In the case of The Slab, no-one had been able to escape from it before. Even when he was put in a room with no entrances or exits, he still escaped... somehow. The Riddler is self-trained in escapology and has been shown to easily escape from prisons even other villains can't get out of. |

Lucky Luke: The Dalton Brothers are this in most of the stories they appear in. They are best known for being Tunnel Kings but they have tried quite a few other methods as well: cutting through the bars at the window with a file, using a broken file to make four extra doors (one for each brother) in the cell, making a hole in the wall with either dynamite or with their mattocks, setting the prison on fire, hiding in the wagon with food (comic) of dirty clothes (cartoon)... In fact, this has become so much of a Running Gag, that the creators in some of the later stories will simply just skip the escape part since the readers already know how easy it is for them. | |

One Iznogoud story had him hire a master criminal for his latest scheme, and conveniently he heard he was already locked up in the dungeons. Only when Iznogoud went to meet him, no one was in the cell. A guard informed him that they had locked up the thief several times and he always escaped effortlessly, so they've stopped even trying. The thief on his part had taken to also breaking back into his cell whenever he wanted a free place to sleep and get a meal. | |

Hogan's Heroes: Hogan and his team break out of Stalag 13 so often that Klink might as well have just given them the keys to the front gate. And then they break back in when they're done with whatever business they had outside the camp because it's in their long-term interests to let the Germans think that they're still locked up. One episode also has a former stage performer and career Escape Artist intentionally get caught and thrown into Stalag 13 as part of a long-term rep-building ploy to break out of every P.O.W. camp in Germany. This creates a problem for Hogan because Stalag 13's artificial status as The Alcatraz is the only thing keeping the German High Command from replacing Klink with someone far more competent. |

Despite his best efforts Spock failed to escape. Later on Spock, Captain Kirk, and Dr. McCoy are placed in a cell by Sybok's people and initially they are unable to escape either. However the designers had failed to consider the possibility of outside assistance. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy all escape when Montgomery Scott blows a large hole in the back of the brig's cell. | |

In an episode of Barney Miller Barney is told by a snitch where an infamous prison escape artist is hiding out. He had been sentenced to 5 years for robbery 30 years earlier, but his sentence kept getting extended because of his frequent breakouts. The escape artist has decided to hang it up; although he does break out of the holding cell in the squadroom at one point in order to use the restroom. Nobody notices until he saunters back and locks himself up again. | |

As dramatized in Escape from Alcatraz, Frank Morris is a Real Life example, rendering every single prison he was held in as cardboard, including, you guessed it, Alcatraz. The two men who broke out with him, John and Clarence Anglin, were also known as escape artists (although, like many escape artists, Morris and the Anglins discovered that staying out after escaping is much harder than getting out in the first place, and were always recaptured). Prison authorities think the three men drowned, and there hasn't been a confirmed sighting of any of them since the day they escaped, although some believe they may have survived, citing that their bodies were never found. Their fate remains a matter of debate. | |

The Riddler is self-trained in escapology and has been shown to easily escape from prisons even other villains can't get out of. | |

Diggstown: Gabriel Caine comes across one of these for the short portion of the film he spends in prison, having developed a fool-proof way of breaking out of the prison he's in undetected and using it to break out other prisoners in exchange for money while serving out the rest of his own sentence. | |

In Golden Kamuy, Abashiri Prison holds Japan's most heinous and dangerous convicts, neither of which are words you could use to describe the "Escape King" Shiraishi Yoshitake. He's a bumbling petty thief who, as his nickname suggests, also happens to be an expert Escape Artist who has broken out of every less secure prison in Hokkaido at least once. Flashbacks have shown some of his previous escapes, with his methods including making a paper-mâché replica of the master key and hiding it inside a beetle shell until he had a chance to get away, and starving himself and dislocating his limbs to squeeze through tight spaces. He even taunts jailers by threatening to escape on their shift if they're not nice to him. Sure enough, when a group of 24 prisoners successfully escape from Abashiri, Shiraishi is among their number, and the heroes make use of his skills when they need to break into Abashiri to meet with one of the prisoners. | |
