John had been in prison for only three months when he got into a fight with another prisoner and the prisoner sliced off john's ear with a knife. A short
time later he got tonsilitis and had his tonsils removed. Then john got a mouth infection and six of his teeth was removed. Soon after that, his hand got slammed in a door and he had to have the tips of three fingers amputated. A few weeks later john had appendicitis and his appendix was taken out.
It was this point that prison warden went to the governor of the prison and warned "I think john is escaping bit by bit"
