Steven escaped again — this time by impersonating a judge over the phone and lowering the bail so he could afford to pay. He was caught three days later. Still unwilling to stay in jail, he dyed his prison clothes with green highlighters and toilet water to mimic doctors scrubs. He walked out of prison. He reunited with Phillip, and they fled to Mississippi but were found ten days later.

Steven staged one last escape by losing weight to make it seem as though he had AIDS, even using a typewriter to falsify his medical records. He was given special needs parole and sent to a nursing home for hospice care. Steven continued his schemes, calling the nursing home impersonating a doctor who was offering experimental AIDS treatment. Still pretending to be ill, accepted the treatments and left the nursing home. He then sent the prison a death certificate. A movie has since been made of his crazy life called I Love You Phillip Morris starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor.
