The video details the escape attempt of Timothy Vale and Timothy Morgan from Elmira Correctional Facility.

They use tools from the carpentry shop to dig a hole and create dummies to disguise their absence. After reaching the roof, Vale is injured during the descent, but they manage to flee into the woods. Eventually, they are captured and sent to different maximum-security prisons, where they remain in solitary confinement.
