If you were breaking out of prison, wouldn't you have a better plan?

In light of the two prisoners that broke out of the Clinton Correctional facility about 3 weeks ago, I was thinking of how stupid their lack of planning was. One prisoner was shot and killed near the prison. I would definitely have a real plan, and then a back up plan if I were planning an escape. It seems that most prisoners are caught near the place they escaped from.
My plan would be to get as far away as possible, by plane, train or automobile and change my appearance.
What would your escape plan consist of?
Remember, if you are going to be using this plan in the future, you may not want to share it.
