He used a combination of starving himself and using laxatives to lose so much weight that he was transferred to a prison hospital. While there, he phoned the prison posing a a doctor who said that Russell had been selected as one of the test subject for an experimental AIDS treatment and needed to report immediately. He simply walked out of the prison. Several weeks later, he contacted the prison authorities - posing as the same doctor - with the news that Russell had died.
He was eventually recaptured and is currently serving a sentence of 144 years.

damn, that escape earned him 99 more years to his sentence. you would think such a sentence is harsh for anyone who didn’t endanger lives to mount an insurrection
