    Apparently, the Icelandic prison had no walls, and the suspect simply climbed out the window. “Prison breaks in Iceland usually mean someone just fled to get drunk,” Helgi Gunnlaugsson, a sociology professor at the University of Iceland told the Guardian. “The underworlds are tiny and it is extremely difficult to hide, let alone flee the country.”
