Chelmsford Prison saw dozens of escapees flee its high walls by bike, Rolls Royce and toy car today for the annual Essex Jailbreak.
Eight teams from across the county set out to get as far away as possible, while raising money for the Essex Boys and Girls Club.
On hand to see the jailbreakers off was prison veteran Victoria Alcock, of Bad Girls fame, who hinted that she may be back to take part next year.
She said: "It is a great cause and the club and its volunteers do an amazing job. I might give it a go next year, it is just sort of thing me and my husband like."
Contestants were aiming as far afield as Tennerife, however some were content with shaking their buckets on a more local pub crawl.
