Here is the excerpt Trey sent:
The prison has a badly defective alarm system, a perimeter post was unstaffed, an outside dormitory door had been propped open with a rock and the alarms went off so often that prison personnel often just ignored them, the report said. Also, operational practices often led to a gap of 15 minutes or longer during shift changes along the perimeter fence,
[Department of Corrections Director Charles L.] Ryan said.
Prison staff told a review team that the dormitory door was left open because of the heavy amount of foot traffic. That open door allowed the three inmates to reach a 10-foot chain-linked fence that hadn't been topped with razor wire. They scaled that fence and hid out for a time behind a building in an area that isn't visible to staff from the yard.
Using wire cutters, which [Casslyn] Welch [John McCluskey's fiancee and cousin] tossed into the prison yard shortly before the 9 p.m. shift change, the inmates [Daniel Renwick, Tracy Province, and McCluskey] cut a 30-by-22-inch hole and held the fence back with a dog leash.
