Today marks the anniversary of the final jailbreak of one of New Zealand's most famous escapees. In August 1911 Joseph Pawelka escaped from the Terrace Gaol in Wellington. It was his third high profile escape and it hit headlines around the world. Professor Michael D Jackson wrote a book about Joseph titled The Blind Impress and has been fascinated by jailbird for decades. He joins Karyn from Massachusetts to look back at one of the great mysteries of New Zealand history.
