He has phones he can run to, to call for help.

If he makes it to the phones, and if they get there in time.

I don’t think he’s quite thought this through.

Yes, and they were expecting a getaway driver to pick them up when they exited the manhole, but she freaked out and left them in the lurch. So it’s not likely they executed some master plan to get quickly out of the area.

Would’t you think the pair had a plan a, b, and even c? Smart enough to plan an escape route, get and use power tools under the noses of their guards without detection....unless the guards were in on it or the warden, surely they had the brains to get away....

On a regular day if he punched in 9 1 1 he wouldn’t see a trooper for a least 20 minutes.With all the cops and confusion it may take longer as they try to determine who’s “collar” could it be....
Either way his gun(s) need to be with him

They are in the Adirondacks, the biggest state park in the U.S. About the size of Vermont. Very few people this time of year, lots of black flies. But if you know what your are doing, you can stay underneath the radar for quite some time.

Yeah, if he’s gonna be outside, he should be strapped.

Probably not allowed there? Have no idea.

I was checking this list, and it seems almost all of them are recaptured pretty quickly. There was only one recently that wasn’t recaptured, and they found him dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prison_escapes#2000.E2.80.93present

This one cracked me up:

Richard Lee McNair - He mailed himself out of prison in a crate.

Points for originality, but how the heck did he get all the postage?

His dad actually handled the sale, I didn’t think that a lot of detail about the real estate sale, was relevant.

they must understand that there is virtually no chance of maintaining freedom. when was the last successful long term breakout? I don’t recall one.

One just got caught last month after 50 years on the lam.

what I don’t get is these stories of guys escaping and not committing another crime for 30 or 40 years. why didn’t they just do that in the first place.
boy I think about my youth. could have spent a few months behind iron for a few of those things I did.
there but for the grace of God..

Well, the bad guys know where to get weapons now.

Maybe Mr. Snyder will pack a bag of sandwiches and some beer for the escapees when they come to visit.
