The Real-Life Michael Scofield - A Criminal's Escape

The prospect of financial gain or the pursuit of criminal endeavors can also be a motivating factor for escape. For some individuals, the lure of illicit activities, the promise of wealth, and the desire to maintain their criminal lifestyle can outweigh the risks of recapture. The need to protect their criminal enterprises, to avoid losing their assets, or to continue engaging in illegal activities can drive them to seek freedom at any cost. The thought of returning to a life of crime, however, may not always be the primary motivator, but simply a way to survive after a successful escape.
