Devil's Island, part of the French penal colony in French Guiana, is known for its notorious escape attempts. While many prisoners tried to flee, only a few were successful. The most famous escape was by Henri Charrière, who managed to escape in 1944 and later wrote about his experiences in the book "Papillon." Overall, the exact number of successful escapes is difficult to determine, but it is estimated that only a handful of prisoners managed to evade capture.
