The question then becomes, who? It doesn't seem like VW has any close family (at least that we know of) and CW has been in prison since 2015 so his contact with his 'outside' friends/family has been severely limited and closely monitored (although maybe not given the lack of oversight at the Lauderdale Co. jail) so coordinating with them would be a challenge.
Re: lack of oversight at the jail....
During/after the high-speed pursuit of CW in 2015, bodycam footage shows "deputies attempting to get White to surrender by offering him “a dip” of smokeless tobacco, followed by an offer of a Sundrop. The videos also show deputies telling White asking him to drop a firearm he was holding against his head after the pursuit stopped in a field. A deputy can be heard telling White that Sheriff Mike Blakely is on the way after White requested to speak to the sheriff." (BBM.)

Now, that was in Limestone county vs. the current Lauderdale county setting, but I wonder if CW had/has some familiarity with certain LE that he feels might go easier on him? Or something? Connections, Old Boy Network, etc...??? MOO.
In light of that, it was interesting to read that the Limestone county sheriff Mike Blakely (mentioned above in re: to the 2015 incident) was later (in 2021) sentenced to three years in jail on theft & ethics charges.

Former sheriff Mike Blakely speaks for the first time since conviction
"Blakely served as Limestone County’s Sheriff for nearly forty years. His career and benefits were all stripped away when Blakely was convicted of two theft and ethics charges in a trial that lasted for weeks." (BBM.)
Hmmm. To badly quote Shakespeare, something is rotten in the state of... Alabama.
MOO.
