    Just bc your on work release doesn’t mean your about to get out many of the road crew inmates end up going to prison for man many years.

    This goes out to the men and women of the Escambia county sheriffs department. The professionalism that you showed while searching for this escaped prisoner showed just how well you were trained. I’m glad to know that we have this many dedicated souls protecting our community.

    He sure doesn’t appear to be very happy to go back to the lock up. He must not have enjoyed his vacation.

    For some reason or other he doesn’t appear to be very happy right now.

    Escaping during work release has always been so hilariously stupid to me. You were about to get out. Now you just added years to your sentence.

    We’ll see him soon enough at Century once they tack on the 5 years for escaping custody. You can’t fix stupid, but you can lock it up.
