Mark DeFriest
Mark DeFriest, known as the Houdini of Florida, is a prisoner of the United States. In 1980, 19-year-old DeFriest retrieved work tools his recently deceased father had willed him before the will officially went through probate. This act was considered theft despite the fact DeFriest did not have an understanding of probate laws.() Mark’s stepmother called the police, which led to his arrest. DeFriest was sentenced to four years in prison. The original four-year sentence has since developed into 34 years for 13 escape attempts—seven of them successful—and hundreds of disciplinary reports for minor infractions. In 34 years, he’s collectively spent 27 of them in solitary confinement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HuffPost Live )〕
== Early life ==
DeFriest grew up in a rural area outside Tallahassee, Florida working with his father. He was a known savant who could not quite understand people, but was able to build or fix just about anything. At six years old, he was disassembling and reassembling watches and even engines. He often devised and conducted elaborate science experiments in his family’s basement, saying he blew himself up a few times. His mechanical ingenuity only expanded, along with his behavioral difficulties.
DeFriest was close with his father, who encouraged his mechanical abilities, and the two had what filmmaker Gabriel London calls "a mechanical connection." His father had served in World War II with the OSS, a predecessor to the CIA.〔http://charlotte.floridaweekly.com/news/2015-07-09/Top_News/PRISON_HOUDINI.html.〕 This experience likely prompted Mark’s father to teach his son the avoidance tactics, survival and defense techniques that Mark describes as guerilla warfare. His father died suddenly in 1979, but in his will, left his tools to Mark.
