TreeJoe म्हणाले...: This is very close to me and there is a huge area basically with roads shutdown as they hunt for him. The escape from the prison is just an epic embarassment. The guy was there 4 days - FOUR - and did this. This wasn't some masterminded escape. He basically did just what this video shows - casually escaped. And he's a convicted murderer - this isn't minimum security prison.

The amount of people now searching for him unsuccessfully for quite awhile is deeply concerning.; ७/९/२३, ७:५६ AM
Temujin म्हणाले...: There's going to be a lot of guys working on their horizontal wall climbing in prisons around the country.; ७/९/२३, ८:०२ AM
Another old lawyer म्हणाले...: My second thought watching the clip yesterday - why is he dressed in casual street clothes?

Same basic thought from game cams and security footage of him in the area - where'd he get the backpack?; ७/९/२३, ८:२६ AM
Another old lawyer म्हणाले...: Also, have the LEO in the area ever heard of FLIR? I'm sure one of the bigfoot shows has an extra one that they could lend out.; ७/९/२३, ८:२९ AM
Narayanan म्हणाले...: did prison have recent showing of Mission Impossible?; ७/९/२३, ८:३५ AM
Ice Nine म्हणाले...: That was the easy part.

Ubiquitous surveillance cameras are of course his problem now. Like in the stores where he will be stealing food. He needs to get away from the area quickly. But hitchhiking will draw attention to him and stolen cars will pinpoint him. Trains - camera problem again. Unless he manages to hide out and survive in the woods for awhile, but...winter is coming, pal. And he strikes me as a city boy.

Caught within another week.; ७/९/२३, ९:०८ AM
Yancey Ward म्हणाले...: It is bad enough on its own. It is even worse that some other inmate had already reached the roof just months earlier. Our government becomes more incompetent by the day.; ७/९/२३, ९:११ AM

Eva Marie म्हणाले...: I’m rereading Ask The Parrot by Richard Stark (Donald Westlake). The novel starts as Parker climbs a hill avoiding a manhunt. Could just as easily be this guy’s story.; ७/९/२३, १०:०९ AM
H म्हणाले...: The Washington Post refers to this wall scaling procedure as "crab walking". A commenter says the correct term(s) used by rock climbers is "chimneying" or "stemming,".; ७/९/२३, १०:१७ AM
Fred Drinkwater म्हणाले...: Ha! Back in the stone age at Berkeley dorms, we use to compete to show our skills at navigating the hallways, in an identical fashion. I was quite skilled.

My fears of imprisonment are now greatly diminished.; ७/९/२३, १०:२९ AM
Jamie म्हणाले...: Chester County is a great place to be on the run. There are small cities and towns, but also a lot - a LOT - of forested and rural areas. Roads wind through but by no means cover all the ground. In many housing developments, residential lots are large and unfenced, and there are also plenty of stand-alone houses on several acres of land. Any fences anywhere are rare; low stone walls are the norm, which are of course no barrier to a human. People have gardens - Longwood, where he was recently spotted, has a huge vegetable garden, which may be one reason he went through there.

In the neighborhood next to the Chester County development where I lived until about seven years ago, OTOH, they provided a limited number of bow hunting licenses for the nuisance deer - bow hunting to keep things safer for the residents. There are still plenty of gun hunters there. So this guy may not end up being caught by law enforcement.; ७/९/२३, १०:३४ AM

The idea for the race was inspired upon hearing about the 1977 escape of James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., from nearby Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. Ray covered only about 12 miles (19 km) after running 54.5 hours in the woods hiding from air searches during the day.[1] Cantrell said to himself, "I could do at least 100 miles," mocking Ray's low mileage. Thus, the Barkley Marathons was born.; ७/९/२३, १०:३८ AM
The rule of Lemnity म्हणाले...: can't say that I blame him.

The Fulton County jail is literally a death trap.

Anybody escaping out of there is running for their lives.; ७/९/२३, ११:५१ AM
The rule of Lemnity म्हणाले...: that's the jail that took Trump's mugshot btw.

Smilin' Jack म्हणाले...: I’m surprised this hasn’t happened before. Rock climbing is a popular hobby, and even murderers need a hobby.; ७/९/२३, १२:२१ PM
William म्हणाले...: The guards at the Epstein prison were re-assigned to this facility to avoid further embarrassment to our prison system,; ७/९/२३, १:०० PM
David Blaska म्हणाले...: Has anyone remarked that the New Jersey crime family are known as the DeCavalcantes?; ७/९/२३, २:५० PM
Tom T. म्हणाले...: He just has to find a phone and arrange for someone to come pick him up, and he'll be out of the area.; ७/९/२३, ४:५८ PM

A pay phone? Good luck finding one, especially one in a public place occupied by people who have been seeing his face on the news. A stolen cell phone? The searching authorities would simply love that. They now have a tracking device on the fugitive, as well as the identity of his abettor.; ७/९/२३, ६:२१ PM
Political Junkie म्हणाले...: Impressive. Somehow he needs to apply for lead in next Spiderman movie.; ७/९/२३, ६:२३ PM
Jamie म्हणाले...: And Philadelphia is a mob place and a gang place, so he may be able to lay hands on a burner pretty easily.; ७/९/२३, ११:४० PM
Richard म्हणाले...: "lay hands". Means find one lying around, talking somebody out of one, stealing one. Or asking a sympathetic person who hasn't been watching television if he could borrow his phone to make a quick call. And which person would that be?

Limber as he is, he's an unimpressive head shorter than nearly any man he'll encounter, so unless he has a weapon, he's not in a good situation. Have to go after women or kids when no men are around. Limited opportunity.

Best chance is to fade into an immigrant community whose folks aren't paying attention and are reflexively hostile to The Man asking questions.; ८/९/२३, ८:०२ PM
