How do you just walk away from jail? I guess the dumb answer is on 2 feet, but how? Isn’t there fences with razor wire. Sorry for my incarceration ignorance but I’ve only been to jail 1 time, in Eureka 15 years ago, and I was there for about 4 hours.
Yes if your working the kitchen their is a way to just walk away and head for the hills
How do you walk away
Using your feet and legs.
Nah really that’s stating the obvious what she means is how lax is it there that it’s that easy to just walk away like that without someone noticing. Wow!
Meth gives you wings.
If that rapist gets outside here and don’t knock everything over..
When they allow inmates to work in the kitchen cooking or cleaning it’s because they have a nonviolent crime and not a lot of criminal charges . Also the guy had a release date in January and he’d be free to go. Now he has extra time and no kitchen job. No brain no pain !
