Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave - Chapter 17 | Much discussion of escape attempts, and much apology in case I'm repeating myself.

Note: Listener discretion is advised for this book. It's about slavery; it is bound to get uncomfortable. It's not labeled Explicit because I don't believe the language is gratuitous, but it's definitely worth consideration before you listen. Reading this makes me uncomfortable, and I want you to be uncomfortable listening. Let's do this.
