Two convicted murderers made a daring escape from a maximum-security prison by drilling through cell walls,stealing through plumbing tunnels and then climbing out a manhole, authorities said Saturday. A massive search is underway.

But this time was different. When we reached master control, the floor officer was escorting two prisoners in from the rec yard saying that three went out for morning rec. The security sergeant and myself went out to the rec yard and saw where the rec cage cyclone fence had been parted. On the outside of the breech was a massive amount of blood and on the perimeter fence were two institutional jackets used to cover up the razor wire, this being winter and it was cold and dark outside.
The emergency count verified we were missing one prisoner. As the security officer, I knew who the prisoner was and had all kinds of telephone records and names of people he had contacted, which I provided to AST, which is the investigating agency for all prison escapes. In the end, AST captured the guy that day and the escape charge netted the guy eight extra years. About one year for each hour of freedom. And a lot of scars. I've seen a prisoner who had razor wire scars and they were pretty bad. The next guy probably won't make it past the outer fence. The razor wire was replaced with barbed razor wire that shreds you as it entangles you.
The only way they lose by killing cops *or* civilians is if they do it in a DP state.
I was at San Quentin and Folsom. It looks like it is built similarly.
I doubt it - these are depraved, brutal, uneducated, poor excuses for humanity, a blot on human dignity and among the worst the country has ever produced.
Am I correct in assuming, that the depraved, brutal, uneducated, poor excuses for humanity, ARE the professors at Columbia University?
Snoooork! Could be... ;-)
...”to be successful must include assistance from the outside”....
Yes.
Well, most in the machine would know in a situation like that, you never ever contact any previous known contacts including friends, relatives etc as they’re all being watched. In fact now they’ll all be investigated on top of being under surveillance.
BTW, this venue had 30 foot walls, and they came out of a manhole over a block away in a neighborhood adjacent to prison camp.
Regardless of what these guys are all about, this seems brilliantly planned out, which would likely include researching drain pipes and building construction plans. This took a while, but they had all the time in the world to plan every detail.
Naturally not without outside AND inside help......
This was no small feat by any means. But then all they have to do is spend their time figuring out how to break out.
The two men were in adjoining cells ( so easy planning)
They cut a hole through the back wall, crawling through the opening overnight, scaled a catwalk, then used power tools to drill through metal walls and a steam pipe, finally weaving through interior tunnels... coming out through a manhole cover on the street.
They could be headed for Baltimore where the LE has been emasculated.
Fortunately, every emergency count I ever participated in, was resolved like that. People don't like to come up short on their counts. The administration tends to try to fire everyone involved.
San Quentin and Folsom look exactly like that, except for upper and lower gun walks on the outer walls.
Amazing.
Good point.
