Welcome to Devil We Know, an American true crime podcast. I'm your host, Aaron. My team and I work to bring you the truth in real-life horror, in stories that chill the bones in every body. We tell the true crime tales of criminals who live two lives, of the dangerous strangers that have lived two doors down. Together, we crack open the cases of people from the dark side of history. After all, you never truly know what a person's inner self looks like.
In this episode of Devil We Know, two maximum-security prisoners plot their departure using their twisted minds and the people in their way as tools for escape.
