The Great Escape (s)

   I've been reading a lot over the past couple
of days about the recent prison escape in
Lackawanna County.
   A lot of people are saying the incident
has left a lot of unanswered questions. I agree!
   In fact some of the questions are mine!
   First there's the similarity between  Michael
Simonson's break out in Scranton and Hugo
Selenski's escape from the Luzerne County
Prison in 2003.
   Both used ropes made from bedsheets as
part of their plans.
   These are obviously well made sheets and
I'm wondering if they're available to the
general public?
    They'd probably last forever!
    Secondly...let me see if I have this right.
    We can keep a dog inside a yard with an
"invisible fence." But we can't keep convicts
inside a prison yard with a high wall topped
with razor wire!
     So...do they make an "invisible fence"
for jails?  Maybe they should. Or, maybe
we can just tell the inmates there's one set
up. That should keep a lot of these guys
in place.
     Come to think of it I know some area
farmers who have no trouble keeping
livestock where they want with a little
bit of barbed wire with a low voltage charge
running through it.
     Here's another really radical idea.
     You know how the inmates are often in
cells? Maybe we could lock them in!
     And if they've got to be given time
outside for exercise, maybe somebody
could watch them.
      Let's hope you're just a "prisoner of
love" and that all of your NEWS
is good!
