He was 30 minutes' walk from the prison? I guess the net closed very quickly?
Read the rest:
Searchers had been using bloodhounds, officers on horseback, drones and helicopters in their hunt for Hardin since he escaped nearly two weeks ago on May 25.
Apparently, neither the escapee nor his hunters are very fast walkers. That 30min walk took the helicopters two weeks.
Captured and given a role in the Trump administration as head of the bureau of prisons
Me thinks the officer on the guard tower who let him out knew who he was and didn’t like the idea of a police officer being in prison. Seems too likely based on how cops treat each other but maybe I’m just too conspiratorial.
Wow. Nice escape. Not nice enough though.

Must be a weird feeling to get caught by a system of surveillance you had a hand in supporting...
Not only that, but you knew all of this existed, and you still only covered what would be 2 hours of walking calmly in what two weeks?
What a fucking joke. Everyone hold your breath, no chance he gets back out in 10 seconds.
Yeah its odd. Makes me think they circled him in somehow unbeknownst to them, so he maybe decided to wait it out expecting them to give up.
