I believe in the principle of Due Process |
An inmate from Dallas was busted this week sneaking out of a federal prison in Beaumont to get snacks, alcohol, tobacco and cooked food to take back into the facility. Sheriff's deputies in Jefferson County learned recently that inmates were going out the back of the prison to neighboring land owned by a rancher and picking up contraband. Deputies and U.S. marshals were lying in wait around 5:45 p.m. Wednesday and watched as someone drove a vehicle onto the property and left a large duffel bag. At 7:30 p.m., an inmate left the prison grounds and picked up the bag. Deputies arrested the man — identified as Joshua Randall Hansen, 27, of Dallas — as he headed back to the prison. Link Pictures at the link. Pit of misery, maybe? Dilly-dilly! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Guy was serving only 27 months and he couldn't stay out of trouble? Now he can get extra time tacked on. So the prison has security issues but don't address it. LOL. _____________ | |||

Objectively Reasonable |
27 months (plus a few more for the escape) will seem longer when he's not in the satellite camp anymore and is in a real prison with walls/fences and real inmates. For good measure, he'll likely lose his good time credit (about 100 days for a two-year sentence) and a halfway house for his last few months is now unlikely. You. Have. Chosen. Poorly. | |||

If you see me running try to keep up |
More than likely he was in the satellite camp. Most jails and prisons have what is called “trustees” but I’ve never been inside a federal prison (I’ve been in county jails and state prisons as a religious volunteer). They are usually the non violent offenders that have good behavior and they do different jobs around the prison. They could do lawn care, deliver mail etc. The trustee camps i’ve seen have no fences and the inmates can leave at any time by walking away. My local county jails use trustees for everything from barbers to mowing and weed trimming around the county. I saw one trustee in a county jail hand making a horse saddle for the sheriff. | |||

We have trustees in this county,they gladly volunteer for this, and get paid a little. Animal control uses them for dog care,road department uses them to mow highways and litter control I do not see the harm in working them some. | |||

Crown Royal and Bugler tobacco ... that reminds me, I have to restock my "If an asteroid is going to wipe us out in 72 hours" box of goodies I'm not sure a jury of his peers will buy charges of "escape" (does something like this even go to trial?). It is more like unauthorized absence and possession of contraband. | |||

I’m thinking that the warden got a chuckle out of this episode. Serious about crackers | |||

Yeah, probably a satellite camp. A good friend of mine ended up in one for insider trading. There were plenty of stories of guys sneaking out at night and heading into Philly for booze and whores and being back by the morning. It was a serious risk though. Getting caught meant not only more time, but you got put up in the medium security prison across the street. And let me tell you, that place is no fun. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||
