Dwight Worker is an American who escaped from the Lecumberri prison in Mexico City, Mexico. [1] [2] He was incarcerated after being convicted of attempting to smuggle cocaine. On December 17, 1975, two years into his 7-year sentence, he walked out of the prison disguised as a woman. He and his wife Barbara later wrote a book, Escape ( ISBN 0-913374-76-8), about the experience, and a made-for-TV movie was released in 1980. [3] In May 2012, the National Geographic show Locked Up Abroad aired an episode (season 07 episode 07) about Worker's story.
