The jail guards didn’t see him until he was IN the jail yard. They missed him climbing the fence. Which m means some inmate could have sneaked out in the opposite direction. Sounds like the wrong guy is under arrest.
Wait - breaking into a jail is illegal? Even if it was in his way? This state is getting boring. I blame the Californians.
Had it been the Manhattan Detention Center..?
He would have made it home.
AND there would be no video, rest assured.
Not afraid to stick his neck out, evidently.
I took a look at the jail from Google Earth. There’s not much of a fence around it; just a chain-link thing about nine feet high, with nothing to prevent climbing it. It’s a rectangle about .35 by .5 miles, and the high school is directly beside it, with business and residential areas all around.
Public property paid for by the taxpayers, no crime here.(sarc)
If he could slip in undetected then the inmates could slip out undetected. Barbed wire was meant for cattle, not humans. Concertina wire is meant for humans. Guessing, just like with Epstein, the guards were sleeping.
“(He) told me something to the effect of he was a Montana boy and the fastest way home is a straight line,”
While the execution was flawed I admire the determination.
