24 MINUTES ON PAROLE, NOT A RECORD, BUT GOOD FOR AN HONORABLE MENTION

Graham Lackey, 46, is a convicted sex offender. He was released on parole on March 17 after conviction in 2011 for two counts of weenie waving, among other things. He has 37 convictions, 17 of which are sex related.

He hit the street in Langley, Canada on March 17 at 1:51 p.m. and at 2:15 was in a pub sucking up some suds with a buddy. He was arrested by an RCMP surveillance unit as he left the pub. He has since been sentenced to another five months in custody for violation of the terms of his parole.

The record that I am personally aware of was a guy at Quentin who got out the gate and got in a fistfight in the parking lot on the way to the bus stop. Somebody later figured he had been on parole about four minutes. That might not be a world’s record, but it is the best one that I am personally aware of. I know of another one, at Deuel Vocational Institution (DVI), who was sitting on the bench inside the fence waiting to be processed out and threatened a correctional officer coming in to go to work. He never got outside the fence though, so I guess that one doesn’t count.
