[Harry Potter] So I've just been unjustly sentenced to Azkaban. What are my chances of escaping and how might I go about this creatively? Ive heard some fellow named Black managed to and was wondering my chances.

Azkaban is essentially the Gitmo of the wizarding world. It's a black site in pretty much every meaning of the word. It isn't a prison, it's where the Ministry sends someone when they want them to disappear ... forever.

The Dementors aren't just guards, they're the ultimate sanction against those sent to Azkaban. You probably know about their Kiss. They literally eat the soul of those they attack. Throwing prisoners to the Dementors is how the Ministry executes a prisoner without actually killing them. As an added bonus, the steady supply of victims prevents the Dementors from wandering and attacking random innocents.

Very, very few have ever even emerged from Azkaban, much less escaped. Sirius Black managed by sheer magical ability. Voldemort's Death Eaters managed it by turning the Dementors against the prison's Aurors.

Black managed to escape because he had something so important to him that it trumped the Dementors' kiss. He refused to let his hope die because doing so would doom his godson. If you can find something to hold on to, something to live for, something greater than yourself, it's possible -- vanishingly possible, but still possible -- that you can summon a Patronus and drive back the Dementors, escape to the shores of Azkaban, and apparate away.

If you *can't* find something to hold on to, you need instead to feed your bitterness over your wrongful conviction. Grow your hatred, cultivate your wrath. Use those dark emotions to connect with the Dementors on their level and promise them any dark boon they could imagine if they aid you. They aren't really sentient as such, they're manifestations of sorrow, and if you're of a like mind with them, it's possible you can rule over them.

Of course if you go this route, it's highly likely that you will emerge the most terrible dark wizard in living memory, a terror that eclipses even that of Grindelwald and Voldemort, but a wizard does what a wizard needs to do, right?
