Inmate Escapes SF's Hall of Justice While Taking Out Trash

An inmate escaped San Francisco's Hall of Justice while taking out the trash Saturday morning, according to the San Francisco Sheriff's Department.

The inmate, identified as Timothy Midgett, 40, of San Francisco, was being escorted into the basement of the jail at 850 Bryant St. to take out the trash when he ran out a door.

Midgett ran east and the deputy tried to keep up but lost him.

The sheriff's department and other law enforcement agencies are looking for Midgett, described as a black man standing 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds with short black-and-gray hair, brown eyes, a mustache and a goatee.

He is a sentenced inmate booked on July 25, 2013, and due for release on July 24, according to the sheriff's department.

Only a month to go and now he can get years more for escape. Not too bright.

Sometimes the simple method works best. I hope they catch him, and figure out why this was so easy for Tim to do. Tim, the 6ft 3in Midgett.

He may have done it on purpose, to prolong his free ride, in stoney lonesome. Some prefer giving up their freedom to move around, in exchange for three squares and cot. Some give up on believing life will ever get any better than a basic excerise of survival.

"Three hots and a cot"--as the saying goes.

Maybe the "Midgett" refers to his I.Q. The 40 year old also seems to be a "taker."

Some years ago when I was serving my 6 months for drunk driving they had me washing dishes at the senior center right across the street from the Greyhound station. We were completely unsupervised and often had family members stop by for quick visits. They could have brought me street clothes and money for a ticket at any time.

One of the guards at the jail told me that they had never had a male inmate cross the street and get on the bus. They had to stop sending female inmates to work at the senior center because so many of them escaped from there.

Somebody will need to chew up a good antacid tablet before their upcoming Job Performance Evaluation.

This is, by the way, the reason why prisons rarely have track teams.

I think you are being unfair. I think Timothy Midgett served his prison with honor and distinction!

Some possibilities:
1. "Somebody" doesn't CARE what the boss thinks of him/her, so who cares what the JPE says?
2. "Somebody" doesn't CARE because there's a SOMEONE important behind the fool.
3. "Somebody" is a minority and thereby protected.

If this person is SO bad and CAN'T be fired, s/he CAN be send to some place where s/he can do the least harm...all with a "promotion."

This isn't a new phenomenon in human history.

He's likely a guy who wants to get caught and finds security in being in jail.
