Whoops, it linked to my personal FB page.

Until I find an unlinked picture, 

CNN was broadcasting a story about the inmates in NNY who escaped.   Put "New York" on Pennsylvania.

OK, add that to whoever on the inside helped murderers with life sentences escape . . . . I think I'm a little more upset with the insiders than the geographically challenged news people 

Maybe a thread of the dumbing down of this country is needed & we can just make a cumulative list. Surely there will be at least one event a day!!

I'm not upset about CNN. I'm just wondering what intern lost their job over that.

I used to work in a jail. I know a number of my former coworkers there now doing time for doing inmates favors. And I mean all kinds of favors. These idyuts not only went to jail, they lost their jobs, their licenses and any shot at a state pension. I mean, all that for playing with inmates.

One newsreport was that one of the guys "cleaned up well, was charming, and was well endowed." I'll see if I can find it.

Isn't he the one that tortures, kills & dismembers people? I am really frightened for all the families in that area, especially the remote ones.

Certain kinds of crazy can be extremely charming & convincing.

I have thought from the beginning that it was probably a female employee smitten with one of the prisoners who helped them escape in exchange for her dream romance once her convict was outside and away from the facility.

the female employee was supposed to arrange a ride for them and she blew them off.

Well it will be interesting if we ever find out who supplied these guys with the tools.

She also was hospitalized with a panic attic.  Driven to hospital by her husband, who also works at the prison.

I got one. My former junior high principal's (who was a colossal prick, btw) son who got busted for selling drugs to the inmates in the county correctional facility. I thought it was great!!! Son was as stupid as dad!!! Dumbass had to be segregated from the general population when he went in. Too bad. Apparently my sister went to school with him and he could stand a little time with the general pop. If Dad was any indication, well, DUH!!!! Although in MA, they do seem to favor crooks, so I'm not really sure how it worked out with his pension and stuff.

I feel sorry for the husband and family in their community.  What a career killer especially in a jail environment.  Once they are captured; if captured alive, someone is going to sing like a canary to boast their standing.  Hopefully there is a lesson to be learned.

[NancysSummerSip]

I never did understand the attraction. No insult meant here, but it was almost always female employees to male inmates. And while it was usually either civilian or lower-level employees who got caught up in it, sometimes you'd get fairly high--ranked employees who were caught doing the deed, too.

It certainly wasn't money or prestige. Sometimes it was blackmail, though. A lot of inmates and a lot of the employees come from the same parts of town, so they know each other from the outside. The inmate might find out something about the employee that the department did not know, something that could get them disciplined or even fired. At that point, an employee has to decide to either come clean with his/her CO or keep the inmate quiet.

We have a friend who worked as a guard.  Ohhhh  the stories he tells    He moved around a bit in jobs (within the corrections system) and just took a new position - he's the equivalent of guard management. (I can't remember what he called it)  So I'm sure we'll hear even better ones now.

[Peace77]

You may have heard the stories about the Baltimore City Jail.  For awhile, it was run by gang members.  The gang leader got 4 different guards pregnant while he was locked up.

Florida is typically good for at LEAST one story a day


(no offense to anyone who lives there, I've just noticed that all the crazy news stories seem to come from there!)

[Virgil Showlion]

It's really too bad these guys are cold-blooded murderers. Such a creative, Shawshank-esque escape, and now they've managed to evade the authorities for days.

It almost makes me want to root for them as the little guys sticking it to the man.

Almost.

As an aside: Who's up for turning this into a pro-death-penalty thread?

[wyouser]

A lot of inmates are consummate con artists. We have a low security "honor Camp" close to town. I know several folks who work up there. They talk about that all the time. I know two gals that lost their jobs up there for "falling" for these guys lines. And Virgil, Murderers? Probably it would be lots, lots, cheaper if after conviction there was a "shot while trying to escape" thing during transport to a state or local facility. I've read of several dictatorships where official letters go to a convicted persons next of kin advising them that "so and so sadly secumbed  to pneumonia while  in custody and died. Note also advised them remains would be arriving at their address in a little urn as the body was cremated....

Around here is is mostly the men who get caught for that.  I think you are right that for some reason the women employees are more apt to believe they have a relationship with an inmate then the male employees but sheer numbers say the male guards are having sexual relations much more often.

My question is most modern prisons have cameras.  Who the heck is watching and not reporting it?  The guards who get caught all say it happens all the time and they were just unlucky to get in trouble.  And from the reports that actually seems to be true. 

The biggest scandal recently around here was a huge drug ring in a medium security prison.  The state came in because they wanted the gang that ran it out of business.  They seemed actually shocked that it was the prison guards who ran it and had the gang members scared.
