How could anyone here answer that question? It's not specific enough to answer. Could it be difficult to do? Yes. Are you trying to claim it's impossible, that people are actually truly trapped? It's not impossible, they are not truly trapped.

Bears aren't actually trapped in "bear traps", they can just chew their arm off and bleed to death elsewhere. If you don't have enough money to eat, it's not like you can scrimp and save to spend a lot of money to move while also looking for a new job and still live.
