This is an unprecedented prison break.
One night in 1984, a hurried telephone rang woke up the governor of Virginia. When the governor picked up the phone, the other party hurriedly said. It's not good governor, someone broke out of prison. At this time, the governor thought to himself: What a big deal, you need to call me, just catch it. But when he heard about Mecklenburg prison, he snapped out of bed. Then he came to the scene with lightning speed and the jingle of the bell.
Mecklenburg Prison is the safest prison in Virginia. The prison is small, it can accommodate up to a few dozen inmates. But all of these prisoners are executed prisoners. And escaped prisoners are no exception, they are also death row prisoners. Although prison escapes often occur in the United States, this is the first time that a death row prisoner has escaped from prison. It is precisely because of this that the governor attaches great importance to it.
When the governor arrived at the prison, the surrounding police force was already in action. They are centered on prisons and spread outward layer by layer. At the same time, the governor also received a list of those who escaped from prison. He picked up the list and looked at it, and almost turned it back on the spot. There were six escaped prisoners, 12 of whom were killed by the Brie brothers. Clayton killed 2 people, Derek killed 1, Jones killed 2 people, and Tagel killed 2 people. Combined, the six killed at least 19 people.
These prisoners are all outlaws. Put them into society, that's no different than a time bomb. Therefore, the governor urgently dispatched police forces across the state. At the same time, he also brought in the FBI to assist in the investigation. To say that the US police are familiar with the prison escape. They should block roads and roads, they should search and search, they should monitor and monitor.
In just a few hours, the US police have laid a net. If nothing else, these prisoners will most likely not escape for long. But the governor was more concerned with how they escaped from prison than with capturing prisoners. By questioning the prison guards on duty and other prisoners, the governor almost turned his back again. He had been in politics for decades, and he had never seen anything so humiliating and stupid.
On the day of the escape, the prisoners played ball outdoors as usual. There were 5 prison guards guarding 12 prisoners. At this time, suddenly two prisoners did not want to play, and they wanted to go back early. So the two guards took the two prisoners away first. Logically, this is a common workflow. But the guards overlooked another point. That is, according to prison regulations, the ratio of prison guards to prisoners must not be less than 1:3. In other words, a prison guard can only guard a maximum of 3 prisoners. And with the departure of the two prison guards, this ratio was broken in an instant.
Of course, this is no coincidence. Because the escape of prisoners has quietly begun.
After the release, the prisoners lined up to return to their cells. On the way, they will first pass through a control area. Here, prison guards count the number of people. They were then put back into their respective cells. But this time the prisoners were uncharacteristic, and I don't know why they suddenly quarreled. And the noisier and more fierce, some people have already begun to move. Seeing this, the prison guards immediately stepped forward to pull the frame, and then quickly drove them back to the cell.
In the chaos, the prison guards did not notice that the prisoner, named Clayton, had taken refuge in the toilet next to him. And his next task is to seize the control room. The control room is located in the center of both wards. It controls all the facilities in both districts. Of course, the main thing is that it controls the only entrance and exit between the two prison areas. So if you want to break from prison, then the capture of the control room is the most important link. When the prisoners returned to their cells, they staged a good show of attacking the east and west, secretly crossing Chen Cang, and diving the tiger from the mountain.
In order to give Clayton cover. Some prisoners said that the water pipe was leaking, some prisoners said that the toilet was broken, and others began to provoke each other again. There were not many prison guards present, and after such a toss, they really did not notice that Clayton had not returned. And just as the guards were exhausted, a prisoner knocked on the window of the control room. He pointed to the book in his hand and motioned for the prison guard to help give it to a good friend in the next cell. This situation is very common in prison, and it is not a big deal to help deliver something.
So the guard in the control room walked out the door and prepared to take the book. This prison guard usually has a bad habit, that is, he always likes to hide the door. And this became the breakthrough point of the entire prison escape operation. This time was no exception, and he walked out of the control room with the door concealed. At this moment, Clayton quickly ran out of the toilet and then got into the control room. This Clayton already knew the equipment in the control room well, and with a few simple buttons, all the cells were opened smoothly.
The prisoners, ready to attack, immediately rushed out of their cells, and they controlled all the guards with prepared improvised weapons. The guards' equipment was then removed, their wallets removed, their mouths gagged, and their uniforms stripped naked. By now, the prisoners' movements were going very smoothly. However, this is still a long way from their successful escape.
The prison building where these prisoners are located is divided into three ABC districts. They lived in Area C, and then all they captured was the control room in Area C. There is also a main control room throughout the prison, and there are other prison guards working from Area C to the main control room. So the prisoners' next action was to seize the main control room. This time, they successively used the murder plan with a knife, the plan to make a fool out of nothing, and the plan to cross the sea by concealing the sky. First, prisoners forced controlled prison guards to call other prison guards. Claims that there was a problem in Area C. When other guards entered Area C, the prisoners who were hiding next to them immediately took control.
In this way, all the prison guards who roamed nearby were introduced into Area C. Finally, the head of the controlled prison guard dialed the phone of the main control room. He told the main control office that two prison guards would take over her job in a short time. The prison guard in the main control room did not ask why, and hung up the phone after saying yes. Then the two prisoners arrived at the main control room wearing police uniforms.
We don't know if there is a problem with the prison guard's eyes, it stands to reason that she should know all of these colleagues. But I don't know why, she actually opened the door directly to the prisoner. Not surprisingly, the main control room was also successfully taken. The prison guards also took control, and the main control room was also occupied, so the next thing was to escape from the prison. I seriously doubt that these prisoners have nothing to do with the art of war. Then they used stealing beams for columns, golden cicadas shelling and walking as the top plan.
First, the prisoner pressed the guard again to call the doorman. He said on the phone that there was a bomb in the cell, and you should drive the car to the door of the cell. When the doorman heard this, he immediately put down the phone, opened the door, and drove the car to the door of the cell.
Speaking of which, everyone may be curious. To say that there is a bomb in the cell, this is too far-fetched, how can the doorman believe it? Eh, that's where prisoners excel.
A few months before the incident, it was reported that prisoners were making bombs in their cells. A large number of prison guards entered the cell to search. Nothing was found. Although no bomb was found, the prison guards planted the seeds of the bomb in their hearts. So when the head of the prison guard said there was a bomb, the guard must have believed it.
When the guard parked the car at the door of the cell, the escaped prisoners had been waiting for a long time. They wore prison costumes and carried "bombs" alongside a man with a fire extinguisher. Don't say, just looking at this posture, it is indeed quite bluffing. But of course, the prisoners had no bombs in their hands. What they call a "bomb" is actually a cloth covered with a piece of television. Since the situation was relatively urgent at that time, the doorman did not think so much. He parked the car and immediately dodged it. In this way, six prisoners wearing explosion-proof suits fled the prison directly.
How about guys? This jailbreak scheme is not perfect. If I were to say, the IQ of these prisoners has soared to 150. Each link is linked one by one, and each link is in the planning.
However, they only planned how to jailbreak, and they hardly thought about what to do after the jailbreak. So after escaping from prison, the IQ of the 6 prisoners plummeted. The dumbest were Clayton and Derek. After escaping 12 hours from prison, they were caught at a laundromat. They were wearing police uniforms, drinking wine and eating cheese. You say not to catch them, who to catch.
The second stupid ones are Jones and Tagger. They stole the car and planned to go all the way north to Canada. Since there is no money on him, the two of them are going all the way to grab all the way. On the 10th day after escaping, Tagel was caught after robbing a store. On the 11th day, Jones, who was hungry and cold, chose to turn himself in.
The third fool is the Brie brothers. After escaping from prison, they defected to an uncle in Philadelphia. The Brie brothers thought no one would find them, but police reached Philadelphia through prison call logs. When the police arrested the Brie brothers, they were partying. Ouch, this heart is also big enough.
After 19 days of arrest, all six prisoners were arrested.
A year later, the Brie brothers got on the elevator. Behind were Clayton, Derek and Jones. In comparison, Tagel was the luckiest. In the end, he was executed by lethal injection. After the escape, Mecklenburg Prison underwent a major overhaul. The warden and the six guards on duty were all fired. However, by the end of the 90s, Mecklenburg prison was abandoned. By early 2021, the death penalty in Virginia was also completely abolished. But the legend of the Prison Break Six has been handed down.
Well, I'm Uncle Qi. Don't forget to like and follow, we'll see you in the next issue.
