Deterrence

Escaped Inmates May Have Been Crushed To Death In Trash Truck
SULPHUR, Ky. -- A medical examiner office in Louisville, Ky., is conducting autopsies to determine whether two inmates whose bodies were found in a landfill were crushed to death.

Investigators believe the inmates may have been loaded into a garbage truck from a dumpster.

Authorities think the men were hiding in the dumpster after escaping Wednesday from the Kentucky State Reformatory in La Grange.

A garbage pickup was made at the prison Wednesday morning. Garbage from the prison was delivered to the landfill later that day.

The inmates were last seen Wednesday morning and their bodies were found the next day.

Kentucky Corrections officials say they expect the incident to deter future escape attempts.

In the class I just finished taking at Drake University, the prof mentioned that an inordinately high percentage of incarcerated individuals suffer from learning disabilities or mental retardation. Here's even more evidence, I'm guessing...
