Scott Harmon and Mark Williams met each other in a maximum-security prison in the heart of Pennsylvania coal country in the United States in 2012. They were also both desperate to leave State Correctional Institution (SCI) Greene, the isolated prison where they met and which they described as harrowing. In 2018, Williams was transferred to the more desirable SCI Phoenix, in Montgomery County, and soon Harmon was transferred there as well. Harmon and Williams, who call each other chosen brothers, had been working towards the same goal, but now one had achieved freedom and the other had not. He has a girlfriend whom he met as a teenager and reconnected with while in prison.
