Escape of the Devil in the Ozarks
Introduction
A shocking report released Friday by the Department of Corrections reveals that a former police chief, known as the "Devil in the Ozarks," spent months meticulously planning his escape from an Arkansas prison. The report details the escape of Grant Hardin, who is currently on the run after breaking out of Calico Rock Prison on May 25th.
Key Details
The internal review uncovered that Hardin took advantage of lax security in the prison's kitchen to carry out his carefully crafted plan. He had been assigned to work in the kitchen for several months, giving him plenty of time to identify weaknesses in the security system. Hardin also managed to acquire tools and materials that aided in his escape, further demonstrating the lack of oversight in the prison.
Impact
This incident raises serious concerns about the security measures in place at Calico Rock Prison and highlights the need for stricter protocols. It also brings into question the vetting process for inmates assigned to work in sensitive areas. The escape of the "Devil in the Ozarks" serves as a reminder of the potential danger posed by skilled criminals and the importance of constantly evaluating and improving security procedures in correctional facilities.
