I can attest to that. I was truly saddened by this turn of events.I can only hope that he is able to turn his life around.

Ray, do you know him personally? Do you realize what this guy has been through in his young life? He was dealt a bad hand in life and now is a product of a screwed up society filled with hateful people like you. His Mother was killed when he was about 10 years old and his Father is in and out of prison. Where is the justice system when you need it, put him in therapy and get him the help he really needs. I am sure prison time no matter how long or short will rehabilitate him, it will just add fuel to the fire. Just remember you don't know what the next person has been through or what has made them do what it is that they do. One kind word could make the difference between them doing wrong or write and the hateful words you have said could be enough create the criminal in which he has become. May God Bless you teach you how to "Love Thy Neighbor"!

Why was this guy able to get a job outside the prison after only being in prison for three months? He's 18-years-old, looking at possibly doing 15 years. Looks to me somebody slipped up.

Ted you know nothing, This is the first time it has happened and he didn't "Escape" from the Facility. He escaped from a work crew on 46.

get used to it. granholm has had the dept. of corrections declassify inmates, in order to save money on housing. this means inmates who should be in higher level prisons are now in lower prisons. lower level prisons have fewer officers an NO gun towers, to thwart escapes. get a hold of your legislators and demand a stop to this practice. also, next time correction officers ask for binding arbitration, vote yes. this could help ensure safer staffing levels.
