News Item:Escaped fugitives (and murder suspects) John McCluskey and his fiancee, Casslyn Welch, arrested at campsite after tip-off from forest rangerYeah! Good idea: Let's have corporations run everything!
.... McCluskey was among three prisoners who escaped on 30 July from a privately operated state prison in Kingman.....
The arrests came hours after officials discussed a report that outlined a series of embarrassing security breakdowns that allowed the escape.
The prison had a badly defective alarm system, a perimeter post was unstaffed, an outside dormitory door had been propped open with a rock and the alarms went off so often that prison personnel often just ignored them, the report said. Also, operational practices often led to a gap of 15 minutes or longer during shift changes along the perimeter fence.
Prison staff told a review team that the dormitory door was left open because it was in frequent use. The open door allowed the three inmates to reach a 10-foot chain-link fence that hadn't been topped with razor wire. They scaled that fence and hid out for a time behind a building in an area that wasn't visible to staff....
There goes that dang alarm again! Now, what were you saying?
ReplyDeleteWhat if we turned police depts and fire depts over to corps?
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of what Alan Shepard said ... "It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract."
