But what of the other side of the coin: the villains and jack-the-lads who painstakingly plan their escapes and await their moment at great personal risk? For the first time, Prison Break, tells the stories of all the most ruthless and desperate bad boys and chancers who broke out of gaol and into the annals of criminal history.

Esta crónica periodística fue una obra que reveló los entretelones de la transición política que vivió Chile, luego de que Pinochet perdiera el plebiscito. Se trata de la investigación más seria y rigurosa del periodo, solo comparable a "La Historia Oculta del Régimen Militar", obra de la que Ascanio Cavallo es co-autor. Esta investigación fue realizada a través de una diversidad de fuentes y publicada como serie semanal para la revista HOY entre el 26 de enero de 1998 y el 21 de septiembre de 1998.
Al cumplirse tres décadas desde el fin de la Dictadura y el retorno a la Democracia, y con razón del proceso constituyente abierto tras el estallido social de octubre de 2019, los hallazgos de esta investigación adquieren particular relevancia. La historia de la Asociación de Trabajadores del Rock es, también, una historia de la Transición chilena en sus primeros, complejos y contradictorios años. Una microhistoria con enfoque social de la cultura, sobre los jóvenes y los rockeros en los primeros años del retorno a la democracia.
