Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban because when Lily and James were going into hiding they decided on Sirius as their secret keeper however they changed at the last moment without telling anybody, including Dumbledore.

Peter then betrayed Lily and James on the same night that Sirius decided to go check on him and after discovering Peter was gone he went straight to the Potter's house, which was of course destroyed. (At this point he gave Hagrid the motorbike telling him he wouldn't need it again, Hagrid then used it to deliver Harry to his aunt and uncle's).

Sirius knew he would be blamed but he managed to track down Peter and he yelled out to the whole street (full of muggles) what Peter had done. Peter then cut off his finger, blasted the street apart killing thirteen muggles and turned into a rat making it look like Sirius had killed all the muggles as well as betrayed the Potter's. Dumbledore himself gave evidence that Sirius was the Potter's secret keeper.

His name was cleared after his death.

Bellatrix broke out of Azkaban because the Dementors weren't being controlled by the ministry anymore. Voldemort was controlling them. So all the Death Eaters in Azkaban at that time could get out easily, and anyone else in there with them.

He was an animagus. Animals don't have the same sort of mind that humans do, and the Dementors didn't pay his animal-form any attention when it slipped past them. It's never said in canon, but it's commonly believed that, in dog-form, he swam to the opposite shore.

Sirius Black is an Animagus (not sure if i spelled that right) , which means he can turn into an animal. In his case, a giant black dog. He transformed into this animal and snuck past the dementors, who are "trained" to only detect human presences.

Sirius Black didn't go crazy because he knew he was innocent and could transform into a dog.

No-one knew that he was an Animagus; he could escape in his dog form.
