@@alexandra6542 the one that sticks out in my mind was the one my father in law told. As word spread in this very rural county, men began to load up in pick up trucks and ride around with loaded shotguns, rifles etc just looking for these men, trying to help law enforcement but at that time they weren't even sure who they were looking for. Just general descriptions because this was the mid 80's. He always said you could feel the fear in the air. People were terrified because they had no idea which way the men went, would they kill again, etc. Back then nobody locked their doors and it wasn't easy to get the word out. Men patrolled all night long over this county and surrounding areas. He said he was completely shocked that no one got hurt or injured because so many people were scared and just out looking but in a sense they didn't know who they were looking for.
@@javennabellingerlearnsomething they said they closed it because of less inmates in the system and because it was an older facility and the maintenance on it was expensive.
“He stayed behind because he still had an appeal pending”.....Right,I’m sure that appeal will go great after you just held guards hostage and facilitated an escape.
We often wonder what if their ingenuity went to good purposes instead. So sad. Thank heaven they were found. That prison is closed now. That is sad also. People lost their jobs. God bless all those lawmen who keep us safe.

I mostly blame whoever decided to pay prison guards so little for this. They have among the most dangerous of jobs, yet they aren't compensated for their work. Pay people well for their work and you will get better work.
Spent 20 million dollars on a "state of the art" prison but couldn't pay the guards sufficiently... whoever was in charge of that should be embarrassed.
What would you have done differently? (1) Spent more time planning on what to do after they escaped. (2) try to conceal the State van better, lock the door's. (3) aquired maps, split up, went separate ways. (4) get as far away, as fast as they can, from the prison area. (5) steal a vehicle, hop a train. Put as much distance between you and the prison. (6) get to a big city, and laÿ low. No partying, chill out. (7) walk a straight line. Do not bring attention to yourself.
If they had simply went west and joined the Homeless Community. They could have lived without money for at least a year no need for identification. After a year, taking another homeless person identification.

Good observation. The two multiple murderers that escaped rather ingeniously, through ductwork, into the sewer system, and came up through a manhole several blocks away, are another great example. They had outside help, a woman who worked in the kitchen smuggled in various tools inside of frozen ground beef. The one guy also started a fake affair with her. It was years in the planning. They got away, but once out, they had no backup plan in case their lady friend didn’t show. She didn’t. They had no means of getting to Canada, nowhere to hide, no supplies, nothing. They were caught after about 10 days in the woods and separating. One surrendered and sits in solitary. The other decided for suicide by cop. He aimed a stolen rifle at the officer and was shot dead.

I knew all of these inmates. I was the Barber taken there from camp 4, 5 days a week to provide Barber services to the inmates. Myself, I was an inmate housed at Camp 4. I know a lot about the Virginia State Prison. I was sentenced there in 1974 with a 45 year sentence.

@@anamariagutierrez2019 The narrator said Canadian border is only guarded at the boarder post, but the entire border is not, so he would have crossed without being noticed.
Taking advantage of guards not doing their jobs the way they are suppossed to hardly qualifies them as masterminds. Plus the fact they are prison in the first place.
7:41 " most of them killed once, and would kill again if given another chance". They were given another chance, they could have easily killed the prison guards, but they didn't
They didn't kill the guards because they didn't have control and hadn't escaped yet. Without knowing for sure that they are free, killing someone would put another charge on them and put them in solitary for the rest of their life.
Well, they didnt want those that stayed behind to help him take the rap. Dont forget felony murder rule - if you are doing a felony and someone dies, even tho YOU didnt kill them, YOU are charged with murder. So I think they did it out of respect for the other cons. No doubt they wouldve raped and killed that nurse if they had time.
they are on a race against time.. these inmates are on a mission_ if the situation changed they would probably do so.... not everyone but some will definately shed blood of the innocent
Amazing and brilliant escape plan, but it stops there... No plan whatsoever after leaving the facility. They could have gotten away with it for some years but eventually get caught in the end anyway. Great documentary! 👍
It’s insane how advanced and sophisticated the US criminal justice system is really. For a country the size of a content, law enforcements both state and federal are able to track things like these so successfully!!!
Lem tuggle , was the true inmate that never took the claim to the plan. I live in Smyth county Virginia, the exact same one that lem tuggle was born in. He also, was the ONLY PERSON WHO SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED FROM SMYTH COUNTY JAIL. This man was very intelligent, and very dangerous as well,..
I think it's funny how they said the prisoners didn't leave any evidence to say which way they were heading when they dumbed the van I guess they should left a note
The guards got put through the ringer for not following protocol, but what about the warden who’d been advised a few months earlier that a bomb scare was going to be a cover for an escape? He would’ve been notified very quickly of the bomb, but it apparently didn’t ring any bells. And it’s not like they had bomb reports on a frequent basis; there’d never been any before. I bet the anonymous tipster thought that’d be the last damn time he’d try to help them out.
@@godsonjohnson6257 Either that or they were better off in jail. If you keep someone who's deranged somewhere that they are comfortable they are more likely to keep control of themselves.
1:33:40 "A loaded 32 calibre homemade gun inside a type writer in his cell" and then writes a note that says smile lol.....this is crazy, shows you how this guy masterminded the whole escape
The Virginia Department of Corrections was under orders from federal courts to loosen up the conditions on death row. As one of the administrators later said, "we felt the ACLU was running Mecklenburg"

Turner attempted to escape with three other death row inmates the following year, utilizing a home made "flare gun" he made using the backing of a legal pad and a match. He was executed in May, 1995 for the 1978 murder of Jack Smith, a jeweler in Franklin, Virginia, during a robbery.
These were very clever men. The interesting thing is how brilliant they are within the prison and how hopeless they are on the outside.
That's sad
They were nothing but worthless lowlifes that should have been set on fire and sent to Hell
that sums it up pretty well...their plan to escape was brilliant but obviously didnt have much of a plan once they got out.

@@anamariagutierrez2019 The narrator said Canadian border is only guarded at the boarder post, but the entire border is not, so he would have crossed without being noticed.
Canadian authorities would have continued the effort. These were death row inmates. It isn't Mexico.
@@anamariagutierrez2019 *Canadian police would have caught him immediately
Willie Turner is the hero here... not only did he mastermind the escape, he also saved the nurse and the lifes of the guards.
Very true and also a good point! However, I feel he should've left with the crew and made it to Canada...
Facts
He had some humanity with not harming the nurse and guards, but you’re insane if you think him or any of the others escaping would be a good thing.

I saw this episode on tv years ago called the fbi files.. I'll never forget the narrators voice😊
Masterminds inside prison but idiots outside of it
Taking advantage of guards not doing their jobs the way they are suppossed to hardly qualifies them as masterminds. Plus the fact they are prison in the first place.
If no good plan connection outside they lost!And never family or friends because they look at first by them!A prisoner friends family is the best!
When you do time there is nothing to do but think . When you are out to much distractions.
baltazar garcia well said
@@katharinanovobacki3617 You dont need family and frends the guy was only at 5 miles of canada and give it up lol...
7:41 " most of them killed once, and would kill again if given another chance". They were given another chance, they could have easily killed the prison guards, but they didn't
They didn't kill the guards because they didn't have control and hadn't escaped yet. Without knowing for sure that they are free, killing someone would put another charge on them and put them in solitary for the rest of their life.
I guess they're not the target and they are in a hurry for escape
And one of culprit gave up and handed himself to police just bcs of hunger and frustrated lol what a joke
Well, they didnt want those that stayed behind to help him take the rap. Dont forget felony murder rule - if you are doing a felony and someone dies, even tho YOU didnt kill them, YOU are charged with murder. So I think they did it out of respect for the other cons. No doubt they wouldve raped and killed that nurse if they had time.
they are on a race against time.. these inmates are on a mission_ if the situation changed they would probably do so.... not everyone but some will definately shed blood of the innocent
This is extremely brilliant, kamiti prison in Kenya cannot withstand.
I love when the Warden gets the phone call that someone has escaped... Priceless.. but I believe that they always get em back it seems..
Robert Nocera Jr not always kiddooo im still at large for many years
not always! Alcatraz
Amazing and brilliant escape plan, but it stops there...
No plan whatsoever after leaving the facility. They could have gotten away with it for some years but eventually get caught in the end anyway. Great documentary! 👍
They didn't know how to live outside those prison walls.
They should’ve convinced Willie Turner to join
It’s insane how advanced and sophisticated the US criminal justice system is really. For a country the size of a content, law enforcements both state and federal are able to track things like these so successfully!!!
The us justice system is not “sophisticated “ 😂😂😂 its a joke actually
@@Coco-chrispy just because your dad and uncle and future kids will be in prison doesn't mean its a joke LOL 😆 😂 🤣
It’s truly amazing that’s why we are the best nation in the world
@@michaelangelo305s yea not so much anymore
Whomever came up with that escape plan needs a standing ovation the plan was brilliant.
They got out. But no plan once out. Fail.
PETFECT EXAM
Lem tuggle , was the true inmate that never took the claim to the plan. I live in Smyth county Virginia, the exact same one that lem tuggle was born in. He also, was the ONLY PERSON WHO SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED FROM SMYTH COUNTY JAIL. This man was very intelligent, and very dangerous as well,..
@Death at Intervals Racist
It was probably Willie Turner and Linwood Briley
Wow Amazing story , well done very well done
I think it's funny how they said the prisoners didn't leave any evidence to say which way they were heading when they dumbed the van
I guess they should left a note
Imagine getting held hostage and stripped of your uniform at knifepoint and then fired lol.
it kind of their own fault
Yes, that is crazy.
Because they were completely incompetent, like why the hell wouldn’t that officer check the bathroom after it is apparently locked?
A bank robber escape from prison and had been invisible for 30 years living his live in Mexico
Now that’s how you escape..
Yall don't pay enough, if i was a guard i wouldn't put my life in danger , what ever the inmates want, they can have.
The guards got put through the ringer for not following protocol, but what about the warden who’d been advised a few months earlier that a bomb scare was going to be a cover for an escape? He would’ve been notified very quickly of the bomb, but it apparently didn’t ring any bells. And it’s not like they had bomb reports on a frequent basis; there’d never been any before. I bet the anonymous tipster thought that’d be the last damn time he’d try to help them out.
Damn that breakout was ingenious
Seems like this is inspiration for the Prison Break series.
It's crazy 6 ruthless convicts who kill for fun escape, yet not a single guard or civilian was killed during the escape.
Thank you for pointing that out .
Dave Frank
Some of them maybe innocent
@@godsonjohnson6257 Either that or they were better off in jail. If you keep someone who's deranged somewhere that they are comfortable they are more likely to keep control of themselves.
I feel like I was in a theater watching interesting criminal movie.
Nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose...
1:33:40 "A loaded 32 calibre homemade gun inside a type writer in his cell" and then writes a note that says smile lol.....this is crazy, shows you how this guy masterminded the whole escape
really what a man !
Too bad he didn't use his genius to help the world rather than helping absolutely evil killers escape.
Finally figured how Prison Break got its inspiration from
Moral of the story, Don't ever let your guards down.
#1 mistake
NEVER allow death row inmates to rec together. Period.
Why stop there? WHy let them rec at all? In fact, put them in chains 24/7. You tell em Jennifer.
The Virginia Department of Corrections was under orders from federal courts to loosen up the conditions on death row.
As one of the administrators later said, "we felt the ACLU was running Mecklenburg"
These THUGS on death row stay there TO LONG. They should be put to death within MONTHS of there crime, NOT DECADES!
@@Vespyr_ people need something to do. Get out and get fresh air and sun. 🙄
Hush.

I hope you guys are making a lot of money off of these videos because I can see the amount of time and effort gets put into all the content y’all put out and you guys deserve every good thing you get and all the blessing still coming your way. These video remind me of a channel on tv called Investigation Discovery but your videos are put together much better and I would say you guys deserve a show on the Investigation Discovery channel which I would absolutely love to see happen
lol that's because these are old tv shows. They just buy the rights to re-upload and show the content. These people put absolutely no time and effort into this, just cash, like buying a painting someone else painted and hanging it up in your living room.
@@johnjingleheimersmith9259completely different than hanging up someone else's art in your house. That would be more like buying a movie and keeping it at your house. It's more like buying the rights to old art and then selling merchandise with the art on it. But yeah no real effort, but can't blame them, I'd do it too. Also the TV does the same thing, buy the rights to a show and broadcast it on their channel. Like family guy on adult swim despite being made by Fox
They just couldnt carry on their freedom running hopelessly , and i think they remembered the warm beds, scrambled eggs, and basketball !
And they also missed killing .
@@progressluphahla2751 Yep!!!☝️

What do they have to lose? they were already going to lose their lives, so they are very dangerous! they are capable of literally Anything!
I'm glad I don't live in a society where they execute people or lock them in for life. It only creates more dangerous criminals.
@@dennislindqvist8443 You can not create a more dangerous criminal than these people. These are people who have already murdered/ child raped etc, death row is not filled with non-violent drug offenders. I think you are simply unaware of what some people are capable of- we are animals or monsters inside, we do not need help being dangerous.
@@lok777 if they wanted to, they couldve killed the guards. They arent the worst criminals. All death and life penalties are doing so creating more dangerous criminals
Kendrick Mott your spittin facts
They didn't wanna kill any guards. They have to lose the death of someone on their mind. They are still humans
"Fellow correctional officer in trouble" officers simply cannot resist the siren song of a civilian resisting... one thing or another

Hello Lucy
You so beautiful
This story alone proves there should not be a death " row " but a death " queue " and just keep it moving....= problem solved.
Exactly that’s what I was saying
Yeah! More would break out.
Huh ?? What does that mean?
A death row that's immediately without anyone knowing what time and when
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In 1984, 13000 a year in Virginia is like making 52000 a year now.
Still not a very good wage if you consider the danger.
Willie Turner saved nurse and guards' lives. Should commute his sentence.
Turner attempted to escape with three other death row inmates the following year, utilizing a home made "flare gun" he made using the backing of a legal pad and a match. He was executed in May, 1995 for the 1978 murder of Jack Smith, a jeweler in Franklin, Virginia, during a robbery.
@@MontgomeryMall Good point! No lol!

In Germany if you try to flee from cops or escape jail, you won’t get extra charges since it’s a natural human instinct.
