Here are some of the most bizarre prison breaks in history:. When Redoine Faid first escaped from prison five years ago, he blasted his way out with explosives.

Inmate escapes prison for a second time. The Frenchman was caught, locked up and given more time behind bars. He just escaped again -- by hitching a ride Sunday on a hijacked helicopter. Faid was serving 25 years in prison for his role in a failed robbery that resulted in the death of a French police officer. He's still on the loose after heavily armed accomplices hijacked a helicopter and forced the pilot to fly to Faid's prison near Paris.

After picking Faid up, the armed men then forced the pilot to fly them to France's Val d'Oise region before releasing the pilot unharmed and fleeing in an unidentified vehicle. It was not immediately clear how Faid was able to get access to the hijacked helicopter. Nadine Vaujour was so determined to get her husband out of a Parisian prison, she took helicopter flight lessons just for the escape. Her husband, Michel Vaujour, was serving a lengthy sentence for attempted murder and armed robbery.

In May , the Chicago Tribune reported, Michel Vaujour "forced his way onto the prison's roof by wielding nectarines that were painted to look like grenades. His wife then picked him up in a helicopter and whisked him away to a football field, where they landed and drove away. Nadine Vaujour was discovered and arrested in southwestern France. Michel was later shot in the head during a failed bank robbery, but survived. Apparently, helicopter escapes are popular among French inmates. And Pascal Payet didn't flee into the sky just once -- he did it three times, according to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.

Eventually, Payet was recaptured in Spain. Mexico's most notorious drug lord has made dramatic escapes from prison not once, but twice. They went through a legal process to land on death row where they were arrested by law enforcement, convicted and sentenced by either a judge or jury. Why can't death-penalty opponents call it what it is: Clements indicated that there is some irony to death-penalty opponents suggesting that life in prison would be a more humane sentence than capital punishment. Some death-penalty opponents claim to be concerned about preserving the dignity of death-row inmates and not resorting to barbaric methods to punish murderers.

But at the same time, they suggest that a life sentence — which they admit could be a punishment worse than death — would be better for the prisoners they are trying to help. Give me a break," Clements said. Most have been on death row for years. Why can't we call it what it really is? Some accept responsibility, some do not. Anti-death-penalty advocates and defense counsel are doing a disservice and dismissing and minimalizing the actions of the people they claim to be protecting by doing what they do.

Clements acknowledges that some inmates do not go through 20 years of legal battles, and opt to accept death almost immediately — they plead guilty to murder, request and receive the death penalty and choose not to pursue any appeals. These cases especially, some experts maintain, show that many prisoners have death wishes and are using law enforcement officials to help them carry out their suicides. Some death-row prisoners suffer from mental illness and depression and may admit to things that things they didn't do.

Allowing volunteer executions, critics say, empowers prisoners, allowing them to essentially schedule their deaths … and escape accountability, not embrace it. It is difficult to predict whether the number of volunteer executions will continue to rise. The DPIC's Dieter suggests there should be limits placed on punishment — that perhaps the ultimate fate of a death-row prisoner must be determined by the legal system after a certain amount of time. If the time limit runs out, Dieter says, then the prisoner should receive an automatic life sentence.
