fuck it. i'm on a roll. so i'm jogging the rec yard. basically it's two basketball courts split by a fence in the middle with gates on both sides. so segregation can be obtained if necessary. mostly the gates stay open but we are locked in the rec yard via the outer fence. anyway, i'm on lap god knows what when all of a sudden this dude sprints in front of me and climbs the inner perimeter fence. i'm still jogging but watching this dude in awe! how the hell why the hell what the fuck is he doing i was thinking....i looked over to the closest guard tower and the guard who shall remain nameless was looking down and talking to inmates on the other rec yard. back to escapee. then the tower over at the trustee yard saw the guy and started firing shotgun warning shots. guard #1 then does the same. then he picked up the .223 and fired a warning shot in front of the meth head trying to escape. methboy, who was a county inmate mind you, more on that later, decided to lay it down. that fuck nut locked us down for a week! oh and they arrested his g/f who was waiting for him down the highway about a half mile. the facility that i was housed in was/is a private facility so they also house county as well as tdcj inmates. here's how the guy escaped. you could strip razors for shaving, take the blades (which had many and i mean many mcgyver uses) and slide them into the locking mechanism of the cage doors and prevent them from securing. all you had to do was use your ID card or a spoon, yes a spoon, handle to open the lock. well in this case the county methhead did just that. now to make himself look like a tdc inmate he bought bleach from a hall worker and bleached his orange and white striped uniform to be white like that of tdc. he then opened the dorm door via ID then used a spoon on the outer cage door and acted like a hall worker to get through 3 doors electronically controlled by a picket guard that sees them on camera. methboy got through 3 doors like i said and the 3rd one being the outside door that led to the rec yard. he then jumped the fence and ran diagonally across or as best he could...he still had to go through one of the two aforementioned gates that were open and i'll be damned if he didn't jump that fence right in front of me. when i saw that i hauled balls! i didn't want to be anywhere near that guy. he did come to find out he did snag his neck on the razor wire on the outer perimeter fence. got to see that close up because the back entrance to medical was just outside my dorm at the time. and that leads me to another story. but not tonight. i'm too freakin tired.
