Six escape from Alabama priso
ST. CLAIR SPRINGS, Ala. (AP)
— Six convicts, including three
murderers, escaped from a maxi
mum-security prison by using a
broom handle to slip under a 5,000-
volt electric fence.
Officers set up roadblocks and
went house to house with tracking
dogs Wednesday in a search for the
men. Three of them were serving life
sentences without parole, and a fourth
had broken out of the prison before.
The men escaped from the St.
Clair Correctional Facility after dark
Tuesday. They got past a series of
three fences: A 1-2-foot interior chain-
link fence topped with razor wire, an
electrified fence and another razor-
topped fence, said prison spokesman
John Hamm.
They used a piece of wood — ap
parently a broom handle — to lift the
electric fence so they could slide un
der it and then slipped under the ex
terior fence, said Prison Commis
sioner Mike Haley. He said it was not
clear how they got past the first
fence.
An alarm that is supposed to go off
automatically if anyone tampers with
the electric fence did not sound, Ha
ley said. Officials were not sure why.
“They escaped very near a guard
tower, but there was no one in it be
cause we were trying to depend more
on technology. Our technology
failed,” he said.
Corrections officials have de
scribed the prison as severely un
derstaffed. The electric fence was
installed about five years ago as a
backup.
The men also got past a guard dri
ving around the outside of the fence.
Haley said it takes that guard several
minutes to circle the prison, time
enough for someone to flee after
watching him pass.
The prison has 1,301 inmates and
188 guards, about 65 fewer than of
ficials said are needed.
The men were discovered missing
during an 8 p.m. head count but could
have escaped as early as 5:30 p.m.,
giving them a head start on searchers,
Haley said. Authorities were unsure
whether the fugitives were armed.
No prison weapons were missing.
