The Tragic Life and Death of Ty Conn
<p>Thank you so much for your patience as I took a much needed 3 weeks off for my birthday!</p><p></p><p>Ty Conn was locked up for as long as he could remember - first in his bedroom as a child and then in cells from 14 up. Despite never causing physical harm to anyone, Ty would be sentenced to over 47 years in prison because of his incredible skill at escaping. His daring escape from Kingston Pen in 1999 would prove to be his last.</p><p></p><p>Sources:</p><p></p><p>music - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.purple-planet.com">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/born-to-run-and-die/article770873/">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/born-to-run-and-die/article770873/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tyrone-conn-s-escape-ends-in-death-1.169758">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tyrone-conn-s-escape-ends-in-death-1.169758</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/Iw7USH1_l-s?si=yWIYw4zCEje2ErDl">https://youtu.be/Iw7USH1_l-s?si=yWIYw4zCEje2ErDl</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/jVho8TyCzCE?si=LVVHXY9bCvW5b_QQ">https://youtu.be/jVho8TyCzCE?si=LVVHXY9bCvW5b_QQ</a></p><p>Who Killed Ty Conn by Linden MacIntyre and Theresa Burke</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://archive.org/details/whokilledtyconn0000maci/page/224/mode/2up">Who killed Ty Conn : MacIntyre, Linden : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive</a></p><p></p>
