    This was a result of direct co-operation between the Florida dept. of Corrections and the Escambia County Sheiff’s Officer working together. Outstanding job by all who participated.

    Grandison should be in a higher security setting.
    He is a repeat offender and, in my opinion, is not
    worthy of being in a work release program.

    Halfacre should now be more to a higher security
    setting because he escaped.

    Both of them made a bad choice, but Halfacre took the cake with only a year to serve. He won’t get off that easily next time around.
