Evans or James Roderick Evans was a prisoner in the Oxford Prison. He tried to escape from the prison thrice and so was known as ‘Evan the Break’. He was a sly but intelligent runaway prisoner. As a result people doubted his sincerity. As the Governor refers, he was a ‘congenital kleptomaniac’. He was not a typical criminal, neither violent nor harmful; rather he had a pleasing personality and was popular because he was very good at mimicry. He was even the member of the Christmas concert. Evans wanted to give an exam on O-Level German and get some academic qualification. But it was another ploy to escape from the prison and the story centres around that examination and how he escapes.
