Well, he got readjusted.
He obviously does not want to be released and face life on the outside. He knows the escape will extend his prison stay. I would not be surprised if he turned himself in.
People wonder why this guy was at a Work Release. Being in prison for a while u become institionalized. So the last years of your sentence inmates are able to go to Work Releases so they can readjust to society. Let them get a feel of the free world. Cause when an inmate is locked up for so long it’s hard for him to adjust to something he been away from for so long.
The offucial who put this guy on work release should take his place in prison until the guy is captured
>>It might be helpful if you could tell us ABOUT where he escaped from.
Thanks.
I agree, but the Dept of Corrections has not told us that bit of obviously important information.
Please keep us posted, as I am widow and live by myself and live close to the prison, have doors locked, but am little bit worried.
I think he wanted to stay in prison. This is a good way to keep his home, which is all he know.s Like they say, not all of these people know how to survive on the outside.
It might be helpful if you could tell us ABOUT where he escaped from.
Thanks.
I guess he couldn’t wait 18 months to be free. After 18 years in prision. Apparently he wants to stay a little longer.
