Dwight Worker is an American who escaped from the Lecumberri prison in Mexico City, Mexico.[1][2] He was incarcerated after being convicted of attempting to smuggle cocaine. On December 17, 1975, two years into his 7-year sentence, he walked out of the prison disguised as a woman. He and his wife Barbara later wrote a book, Escape (Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?'
