- Escape from Manus Prison : one man's daring quest for freedom / by Ealom, Jaivet,author.;
"In 2013 Jaivet Ealom fled Myanmar's brutal regime, where Rohingya like him were being persecuted and killed, and boarded a boat of asylum seekers bound for Australia. Instead of finding refuge, he was transported to Australia's infamous Manus Regional Processing Centre. Blistering hot days spent in shipping containers on the island melted into weeks, then years until, finally, facing either jail in Papua New Guinea or being returned to almost certain death in Myanmar, he took matters into his own hands. Drawing inspiration from the hit show Prison Break, Jaivet meticulously planned his escape. He made it out alive but was stateless, with no ID or passport. While the nightmare of Manus was behind him, his true escape to freedom had only just begun. How Jaivet made it to sanctuary in Canada in a six-month-long odyssey by foot, boat, car, and plane, with nothing but his instinct for survival, is miraculous. His story will astonish, anger and inspire you. It will make you reassess what it means to give refuge and redefine what can be achieved by one man determined to beat the odds."--- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Ealom, Jaivet.; Boat people; Boat people; Boat people; Detention of persons; Escaped prisoners; Escapes; Noncitizen detention centers; Political refugees; Political refugees; Political refugees; Refugees; Refugees; Rohingya (Burmese people); Rohingya (Burmese people);
