So what kind of indication is there to show that the escapees left the Territory?? How would it look?
Come on Ms. Vanterpool.. Then you should know where to look if said indications are recognizable that they are still here why haven't you sniffed them out?!
Too much unnecessary information and yapping..
You talking about where,because we don't see them
But...I ain't seen no police on the streets like that since the day they escaped. And I work on the road 24/7
is it safe to say if the African Man was head of HMP all manner of Radio Showz will be On Air
Not to mention the Governor Representative will have the nail them to the cross
Why should the acting commissioner and the officers have to be looking for prisoners when the superintendent and his prison guards take a dangerous man out of maximum security and put him in general housing with other inmates. The police need to speak to the right prison guards and they will know what happen in that prison. That superintendent ain’t keep one meeting since he up there. He don’t have a clue. But the governor protecting him.
