Two random events in Grand Theft Auto V deal with escaped prisoners who ask you for a ride. The events can be completed in any order. The first random event is only available to Michael and Franklin after completion of the Friends Reunited mission, since Trevor will not help anyone associated with the Lost MC. However, the second random event can be completed by any of the three main characters after the Mr. Philips mission.

Steps

Dealing with the First Prisoner

Drive to the Grand Senora Desert. Take the road southeast from the Los Santos Customs. The random event is located between the Bolingbroke Penitentiary and the Redwood Lights Track. Your radar will flash if the event has been triggered, and a blue blip will appear on your radar to indicate the prisoner’s location.

Let the prisoner enter your vehicle, then drive him toward his destination. The navigation on your radar will lead you to where he needs to go. Do not drive him near a police station, or else he will exit the vehicle and run, which will cause the event to be incomplete. To avoid police stations, try to stay on rural roads and away from towns.

Get rid of your wanted level. You will gain a 2-star wanted level for helping the prisoner. To evade the police, stay out of their line of sight, which is shown on your radar as blue cones attached to blue and red flashing blips. An easy way to avoid the police is to stay off of roads until your wanted level is gone.

Take the prisoner to the Lost hangout. It is located at the intersection of Mirror Park Boulevard and Tangerine Street. Once you arrive and the prisoner exits your vehicle, the random event will be complete and you will be rewarded with +5% to your driving skill.

Dealing with the Second Prisoner

Drive to the purchasable Los Santos Customs. It is located in the Grand Senora Desert. This random event takes place along the road to the southeast. When you are nearby, you will see a blue dot on your radar after it flashes. If you do not see it, that means the random event is not available yet, and you will need to return at another time or with another character to trigger it. You must be in a land vehicle, such as a car, truck or motorcycle, in order for this random event to be completed. If you do not arrive in a land vehicle, the prisoner will run away.

Approach the prisoner. He will ask you for a ride, but when you approach him he will point a gun at you and tell you to exit your vehicle. Do not attempt to drive away, since doing so will cause the event to be incomplete. It will also be incomplete if you let him drive away in your vehicle without killing him.

Kill the prisoner. This can be done by shooting him from within your vehicle, but if you exit your vehicle to shoot him you will need to kill him before he has a chance to escape. Alternatively, if you don’t mind sacrificing your vehicle, you can let him take your vehicle and kill him by throwing a sticky bomb onto it and detonating it. When the prisoner dies, the event will be complete, and your only reward is the ammo he dropped.
