That place was just epic for prison escapes. I lived in a town that housed one of those jails, and I actually worked across the street from it for a while (we got prank calls from them...attempted prank calls, since they attempted to do it collect and the operator always told us it was the jail, and we'd just refuse).
That city was already notorious because John Dillinger escaped from the jail there. It was the local Sheriff's big shame and no one was allowed to mention it while she was alive. She lived to 102 or something, in a big mansion downtown.
There was one very famous incident in the early 2000s where these two murderers escaped, shot police officers, held people hostage in their houses, had a shootout at a gas station, and (for a few long, long hours) hid out in the woods behind our house.
That was unbelievably fucking scary. It was like a movie...nighttime, rural house, you look out the front window and there's a police helicopter hovering right there with a searchlight, someone shouting through a bullhorn to stay on the floor in your house and don't move. Shit. And cops tromping all through your woods. They caught the guys the next day running through a cornfield, I think.
Right after I moved where I am now, there was some sort of minor juvie escape and they had roads blocked off and helicopters out...I had flashbacks.
