Re: Outcome from John Sealy escape

How bout this taxpayer. Texas has the lowest escape rate in the nation. In the past 50 years there is only one fugitive from the TDC, he left from the Garza unit and is in mexico, all others have been returned to the custody of the State of Texas, either walking or carried in a box. There is no other state that can say that, most states and the feds don't even look. You bring up Aubrey Hawkins, a tragedy to be sure, but how many New York(approx. 1275 at last cound) escapees have done harm to people while they were out. Inmates are gonna escape that is the nature of the business, they escape from every prison from every state from every country, when you pen a human up he wants to get free and some are gonna be successful. All the prison can do is try to find him and bring him back, and Texas is the most successful at that task. So when are we gonna get it right, never, it is inevitable that there will be escapes as long as there are invarverated felons, but we have the best record, or the most right around.
