Quote: rex said: Thats a problem with prison security.
That's a laughable response.
How so?
I dont often agree with rex, but if a prisoner is that dangerous, they should be held more securely.
In an age of video survielance and other security devices, prison escapes are down to the failure of those in charge to implement proper security measures, and is fuck all to do with how tough or wiley the prisoners are!
I just saw this as a flippant response by rex, that bypassed how dangerous many of these prisoners are, and how difficult it is to be vigilant in guarding them every minute. But no matter how good the court or prison security (as many incidents show, pretty much daily, and no doubt not just in the U.S.) no matter how vigilant, these convicts will occasionally escape to victimize others. And a guy who's in jail for life ? How much more likely that he'll have an opportunity to escape and kill again.
Rex's response is like saying when a soldier dies, it's not the enemy he fought that killed him, it's his lack of training.
Well, usually it's the enemy.
Sometimes even the best-trained and vigilant soldier (or guard) is overwhelmed by an enemy in a volatile circumstance, and it has nothing to do with training.
Alcatraz was arguably the most secure prison ever built, but prisoners escaped from there too. While they're alive, and there's a will to escape, they'll eventually scout out a weak link in even the most secure of chains.
