How old is Paul Bernardo? Two of the most famous escapes involved going over the wall with a ladder. In , the man who has been called Canada's most notorious criminal, bank robber Red Ryan, led four inmates over the wall after first setting fire to a shed as a distraction. Ryan went back to robbing banks, was captured three months later and ended up back in KP.
A model prisoner, he was released on parole in , became a poster boy for prison reform, even hosting a radio program. However, in his leisure hours, Ryan had secretly returned to robbery until he was shot dead by a policeman during a botched liquor store holdup in Bank robber Tyrone William Conn, who had already escaped from three other prisons, got over KP's metre perimeter fence one night in by using a hand-made ladder and grappling hook he constructed in the prison shop.
Thanks to a dummy he made by stuffing clothing with paper, his escape was not discovered until the morning. Two weeks later, police tracked Conn to a basement apartment in Toronto. He accidentally shot himself during the standoff. KP has long been the place most of Canada's notorious inmates served time. This may result in part from KP being the maximum security prison where inmates who cannot be safely integrated into other incarcerated populations are held.
Buxbaum died in KP in While guards were ordered to fire shots through the peep-hole of cells where and when they detected a commotion, they also fired seven shots into Buck's cell, which the government later admitted was just "to frighten him. In , a riot lasted four days, with six guards held hostage and two "undesirable" inmates beaten to death by the rioters. Much of the central block was destroyed, including the interior of the central dome.
The prisoners demanded that legendary journalist Ron Haggart hear their grievances. Haggart negotiated an end to the uprising, likely averting a bloodbath.
KP was a "dumping ground for bad guards," with some guards terrorizing fellow staff and inmates, according to a report commissioned by KP's warden.
