The infamous escape by Mexican drug kingpin El Chapo is currently on display at The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.

How El Chapo Escaped

The scale model, called “El Chapo’s Great Escape,” features the highly sensationalized prison escape of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in June 2015. Guzman is a notorious Mexican drug lord and leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, an organized crime syndicate based in the same area as its namesake.

The syndicate ships cocaine and other illegal drugs like marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin and ecstasy from Colombia to Mexico and some parts of North America and Europe. It also supplies into the United States, which is reportedly the No. 1 cocaine consumer in the world.

“El Chapo’s Great Escape” is a miniature model that shows how the crime leader escaped through an underground network of passages from Altiplano, a maximum security prison in Mexico.

The passage began with a hole that had been dug beneath his shower. The said hole opens into a 32-feet ladder that leads to a 4,921-foot horizontal tunnel. At the end of this network is a motorcycle which the drug lord used to escape. There was another vertical tunnel that lead El Chapo to his final stop -- a compound found in a construction site.

El Chapo hid from Mexican authorities until his second arrest on Jan. 8. He was returned to Altiplano immediately. El Chapo is currently waiting to be extradited to the United States to face drug trafficking charges. To prevent the same grand escape from happening again, jail guards frequently transferred the drug lord to different prison cells.

Guzman’s escape from Altiplano was actually the second time that the drug lord freed himself from prison. In 2001, he bribed jail guards to facilitate his escape. He was arrested in 2014.
