My ex-fatherinlaw was a guard at max security prison, and when they took over that prison, they took him and 2 other guards, put them in a cell,and put other convicts, to protect them, because they said in all the years you have been here, you treated us with respect, and decent, so nothing happened to them,but other guards were hurt really bad,my wife was crying of course, but her father told he was scared, but it payed off treating them with common respect and decency,

@MagikFingers420 2 года назад

Yea US prisons like to adopt the 'learn from ur mistakes' systems back in the day. They create what they thought was a great prison but find out inmates have nothing but time to scheme, find weaknesses & CO vulnerabilities to use against the system. After escapes the prisons fix the weaknesses that were exploited previously and when building new prisons they use the past to form once again the new 'escape proof' prison, only to find someone else is actually smarter than they are.

Basic needs are all these criminals deserve. Prison is more like a supervised holiday resort. Disgusting!!! University degrees, conjugal visits, and other privileges...really??? On our tax dollars? I know that we have DNA testing that needs to be done much more quickly so that those that are not guilty can be released. Keeping people imprisoned for ten, twenty, or more years is a waste of time and money... build individual runs for daily exercise. I cannot afford to join a gym or higher education, yet my tax dollars are paying for multiple degrees for these degenerates. They hide behind :finding God". Can we be that daft to fall for that???

No, the facility was designed incorrectly- as the many electronically controlled doors and checkpoints needs staffing around the clock, which consumed 1/3rd of the available staff at those positions alone. Additionally, the administration felt that due to recent court victories in lawsuits, that the "ACLU was running Mecklenburg". In particular, they bristled at being required to give death row inmates 8 hours pod time (out of their cells) per day.

Willie Turner did not have much formal education, having grown up in great poverty in Tidewater, Virginia. However, he did develop very unique gifts while incarcerated. Turner could fashion a dummy key for his cell lock just by hearing how the lock turned with a key inserted in it. He also designed and *patented* a new type of scissor blade called a "de-ending shear", doing all the technical drawings using what materials he had available on death row. The patent number is 4,428,119 issued on January 31, 1984. Turner also made a flare gun using a match and the cardboard backing of a yellow legal notepad in an abortive 1986 escape attempt. I suspect he didn't want to go with the Brileys escape when he determined they were likely to engage in more bloodshed once they got outside the prison walls.

@Thao Brewster the break out plan was brilliant, considering 1980s policies, practices and technology. The post break out plan was not well thought out, but communications options (cell phones , internet) didn't exist then, so the getaway understandably not complex. Also, keep in mind that these cons were fully vetted regarding friends, associates, family, etc so usual sources of assistance were not viable and as a death row break out there was national coverage making it hard to hide.
