Thumbs up and high fives for the LCsO and the concerned citizen. This town is safer than Mayberry. I love it.

How could anybody just walk off and from my understanding this isn't the first time. They got lucky this time. The next time the houses around the prison may not be as lucky, I don't believe I would want to live around there. I thought this was to be a very secure facility.

If someone escapes, I really don't think they will be sticking around to check out the real estate.
