@@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.
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.

Ofc this can be stopped but these guys must've been in prison for eons to know the prison inside-out and within that time, nothing happened. Anyone would get complacent. I'd get complacent, you would. Everyone would
These men were brilliant with this escape plot, and the guards and everyone else were so naive and unaware! They had multiple chances to have become aware of the plan and stopped it....because there were several “red flags” where they simply dismissed things, instead of following protocol.
@@Doubleshake not smart. They are all criminals and unstable and deperate to not pay for their crimes. Not smart but all a bunch of low class losers - like all criminals.
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 don't think so if they would of thought a step ahead when they were outside have people waiting for them in separate cars get in the trunk and drive to Mexico they had a 30 minute window
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! 👍
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.
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. The woman who realized too late she was a pawn, freaked out and went to the hospital feigning heart attack and mental symptoms. She was later arrested and is in the same prison.

@kelvin robertson That's what I said. They should've all remained in the prison Van and made it to Canada. From there they could've changed identities: if they were smart enough, or figured something out from there.
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!!!
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.

At the end... before he got executed he mentioned about 19 days going out to the free world but if he didn’t murder anyone, he could have lived in the free world for the rest of his life.
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.
daarknlovlee -- I can't imagine what that must cost but it's gotta be a heck of a lot. Who has the budget to pull these huge scale recreations off like this. Costs as much as a decent movie
The only reason the idea of putting a bomb in a van and driving it off is because half the guards were in on it. Ohhh Sure this is normal procedure for dealing with a bomb - yeah right!!
Man, I'm 55 minutes in and there has been absolutely no mention of "the wilderness. " Wonder, I really hope you're not clickbaiting me with that wilderness part...
The county where I live in Texas built a multi-million dollar escape proof jail. The first 3 prisoners were let out into the exercise area on top of the building completely covered with heavy chain link fence. They weren't watched because the area was escape proof. When jailers went to get them, they were conspicuous due to their absence. All the county would say was that they escaped using a pair of ordinary fingernail clippers.

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
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

Clanton and Peterson celebrated their freedom together with a little wine-n-cheese picnic - how romantic!
Lol
Just precious! 😂🤣😅
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
I don't understand why people protest for murderer's human rights, did they care when he killed and took others human rights away?
Are you a Christian?
@@thenativist6330 Bet would would feel different if one of those TRASH HEAPS killed one of your family members!!!
BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL PUKES is why!
..you must understand that private justice can also be justified, but that a civil state orders the death of a man is barbaric and primitive
The goverment is a killer just like them !!!!!!
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
I THINK THIS IS WHERE THE SHOW PRISON BREAK GOT ITS IDEA...…??
I love this narrator, his voice is so special-
cool
Anthony Call
Is his name
Those Briley brothers where the worst of the worst very evil boys so glad they got em all .
Im actually was mad
Hey jacky
i'm no criminal but if i was smart enough to escape prison best believe you would have found me in Beijing, China lol
👏🏼😂👏🏼
You wouldn't have been smart enough. Because even your English Grammar is pathetic! I'm. But. from prison. You better believe that. LOLLOLLOLLOL!💩😜
@@PumaLyn I particularly enjoyed the part where you attempt to berate someone "Because even your English Grammar is pathetic!" using English grammar that is pathetic. The pièce de résistance, however, your inclusion attempt of perceived grammar incursions without using quotation marks, a clear violation of the Grammar Nazi Act 2019.
Nevermind, as I say to any 'Grammar Nazi' "there, they're, their".
@@PumaLyn This is projection on your part buddy.
Jones turned himself in just a few Miles from Canadian border 😱.
He wanted his 3 hots and his cot back.

For everything one needs MONEY Canadian Police will caught him inmediatly
@@anamariagutierrez2019 its called using your 5 fingers for $. and for food finding a shelter
@@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.

They ditched Van in a bad place.. probably should have made a dash to the nearest big city.. not a small town... But WOW.. incredible story..
I would've went into Shenandoah Forest.
@kelvin robertson That's what I said. They should've all remained in the prison Van and made it to Canada. From there they could've changed identities: if they were smart enough, or figured something out from there.
Nah they would get caught immediately
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
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...
Planning an escape is not enough. There must also be a plan when you are out!
right these guy's did some stupid things right away?
I think that's where they failed at
Need someone on the outside.
The only problem.with death row is how long they take and how many!!! Needs to be done much quicker and many more!!!
Out of all that i'll tell you what. That one inmate saved that nurse. You got to hand it to him. He saved her from a whole life of hurt
Yes. True.
A lot inmates have morals as everyone else does and obviously a lot of them don’t very good to see that also hat goes off to the man or men that saved her 🙏 he or they put there neck on the line to save her bless
Far as I know, most I understand hate rapist!
we must admit was an incredible idea and escape lol
At the end... before he got executed he mentioned about 19 days going out to the free world but if he didn’t murder anyone, he could have lived in the free world for the rest of his life.
BINGO☝️👋 EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!!
Finally figured how Prison Break got its inspiration from
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.
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.
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
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing recreation of these series of events
daarknlovlee -- I can't imagine what that must cost but it's gotta be a heck of a lot. Who has the budget to pull these huge scale recreations off like this. Costs as much as a decent movie
Bagram Dave 💯
The book about the escape is an excellent read..
It has a type of unsolved mystery to it. 😂
This is extremely brilliant, kamiti prison in Kenya cannot withstand.
Only if they used their intelligence out of prison ... Brilliant plan
The only reason the idea of putting a bomb in a van and driving it off is because half the guards were in on it. Ohhh Sure this is normal procedure for dealing with a bomb - yeah right!!
A bank robber escape from prison and had been invisible for 30 years living his live in Mexico
Now that’s how you escape..
Excellent set, awesome technique super camera man, marvelous actors, stunning act, unbelievable dialogues, 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
They should have stolen a boat at the coast, then they could have been in a video entitled, “Men lost at sea for weeks”.
Wow talk about planning, I'm sure they've been planning the escape for a year
How did they learn about both gates needing to be open simultaneously and other secrets....sounds like a guard was helping to me
I was at Mecklenburg for a few years, all you have to do is be observant and you can learn the routine easily
Damn that breakout was ingenious
Man, I'm 55 minutes in and there has been absolutely no mention of "the wilderness. " Wonder, I really hope you're not clickbaiting me with that wilderness part...
Lmao
The county where I live in Texas built a multi-million dollar escape proof jail. The first 3 prisoners were let out into the exercise area on top of the building completely covered with heavy chain link fence. They weren't watched because the area was escape proof. When jailers went to get them, they were conspicuous due to their absence. All the county would say was that they escaped using a pair of ordinary fingernail clippers.
Did they ever get caught?
They used the fingernail clippers and made a helicopter and flew off.. MacGyver is still jealous of that trick.hehe
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.
He stayed behind because he had a appeal pending after this ain’t no damn appeal should’ve left
That's what I said..lol

@@PumaLyn 😂
Exactly my thoughts ahahaha
Obviously he stayed bk because he had no brains and they played him for a fool to open the doors lol
@@PumaLyn learn how to use your brain, correct spell doesn't make you any smarter beach and even ocean, you're just repeating what you have been taught like sheep with AN a attitude a of a circus a monkey. Period. I mean
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?
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.
that was an awesome video to watch.. very well put together.. the bad guys as usual got what they deserved in the end..
Awesomeness. ..254
In death row nothing to lose I would escape too...The reason most got caught back was cos they had to steal cars, money etc in order to survive. They should have arranged all that before hand...
Why did that guy snitch on the brothers...Good luck on him while playing ball in the yard
@L Lazaldi ...Yep like no one wants to go down alone...plus no honor among thieves anyway...
Don't forget how on the outside criminals kill snitches yet as soon as they are caught they are the first to snitch for plea bargains n stuff
What kind of plea bargain on death row? Can they actually have their sentence reduced to life.
@@SplendaChic ....Many kinds like telling where the heck u hid the body....Supposed to bring some closure to the deceased family....
Plus with coincidental evidences u can plea bargain for all sorts
lynn kesh i think a lot of people that escape only think about escaping. They don’t think about what they will do after they get away.
Lol
I miss this old Chanel forensic files .i watched all series
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
Who's here because they are bored and have no place to go because of the corona virus self isolation.

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.
