    Gentle Johnny Ramensky
    Jul 7 2024

    In this episode, Tom and the host discuss the captivating story of Gentle Johnny Ramensky, a legendary safe breaker and prison escaper from post-war Scotland. Renowned for his non-violent nature and acrobatic skills, Ramensky became a Robin Hood-like figure whose exploits were widely covered in the tabloids. Born as Johannes Ramanskus to Lithuanian immigrants in Lanarkshire, Johnny learned his proficiency with explosives from working in the mines as a child. Despite opportunities to lead a lawful life, including serving with distinction during World War II, his addiction to celebrity and thrill of escaping prison defined his life. The conversation delves into his numerous daring escapes from Peterhead Prison and his complex relationship with law enforcement, highlighting the grudging respect and unique rapport he cultivated with senior detectives. Johnny's story underscores not just the nature of crime but also the enduring themes of celebrity culture and immigrant struggles, remaining relevant to this day.
