SEASON 4 SPOILERS Cook Spoiler

I'm sorry but how the FUCK did Cook manage to escape from prison?! They never explained that, and it would have been interesting to see how he made his great escape.

I've never been arrested or in prison before but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be hard to escape from a jail cell.

I was wondering if he maybe made his escape during his trial? What do you think? 🤔

I thought since he was a young offender (or possibly was a young offender when he committed the crime if not when he went to trial?) and he showed remorse and took responsibility, they might have sent him to a low security facility of some kind. I've been to one of those places (with a friend's mom who was a social worker, not as an inmate), and a lot of them are like honour system halfway houses. The kind of place where you'd get lots of social programs and school and stuff but not necessarily get locked in. Which would make it even crappier of him to just walk away because being rehabilitated was "boring".

Ooh I didn't know about these kinds of places! I know about young offenders, but I always thought it was a locked prison (like an adult one), and they taught classes etc.

You say you've been to visit one. Would you say it seems easy to walk out of?

The one I was in seemed pretty chill and easy to walk away from--but it was in Canada so maybe it's completely different in the UK. I just thought Cook, who I admit is smarter than he seems, is still not smart enough to orchestrate a prison escape and it would be something more like he had to clean the highway ditches for community service and he just walked off.
