How secure is death row?

In 2004 two death row inmates nearly escaped after cutting through the bars of their call and tunneling through the wall on the other side. They had cut through the lock of a security door leading out of the "chase" or tunnel for the plumbing system. They were only one door away from being free. They even had a security guard uniform, ski masks, and mattresses lined up ready to help them over the razor wire (which the area was a blind spot to the towers). All the equipment they used was professional equipment from the jail. Such as power saws, paint (to cover up the cuts in the metal), and uniforms. This, of course, never made it into public media.

I was a correctional officer with the prison at the time. I'd be more than willing to meet with members of the paper because there's a lot going on at that prison that finally needs some light shed on it.

I was working there at the time. It did make it into the media. Channel 2 and other covered the story.
They were more than "one doo away from being free. Remember that there are two sets of fences too.
I have worked every single area that prison had to offer including all of the towers (including T9,t10 and rear gate) and i never saw a blind spot from any of them.

A lot of the stuff they had came from the "outside world" when they tried to escape"
They had been working on this for years.


Im with #2.1. I would be willing to help an investigation into that place. There is lots of stuff that goes on that people had no idea about.Even the DOC headquarters dont know about. That is a very dangerous place because of being under staffed. If the federal level knew how much of a mess that place was they would cut off funds or bring federal reinforcement in there.
There was an officer that got stabbed in the eye the other day at the high max. I wouldnt go back there for anything in this world.

Maybe you're right. I worked night shift and remember coming into three long tables full of contraband (illegal materials such as knives, ect.) and getting chewed out like it was our fault. However, at this time they had two officers working night shift covering 4 cells. I still have contacts in the prison and know it is still severely understaffed. Not to mention the forced over time (lay over lists) without pay. Walter I'll probably be paying you a person visit tomorrow. I think its time some light gets shined on this very dark place.

I would like for all of us to meet up with Walter.. This could get interesting. Something you say may make me remember a specific thing that i may forget. Im all for it. Say when and i'll be there.
I still have contacts and the prison that have some pull and get info as soon as it happens.

They said that the GBI came there also. The DOC told the Deputy Warden of Security (R. Brooks) to pack his stuff and he was gone. Supposivly he is on the audit team. I always liked Brooks. He was a major when i was there. He ran a pretty tight ship from what i could tell.
