On his release he graduated to armed robber. In 1964 he was arrested and sentenced to eight years in prison. Despite being incarcerated in HM Prison Parkhurst, which was then a top security jail on the Isle of Wight,[1] McVicar managed to escape again, following a spurious trial with twelve other Parkhurst inmates at Winchester Law Courts and overcoming their guards on the way back to the Isle of Wight at Bishop's Waltham.
