sometimes lighters get smuggled in and they melt and sharpen plastic. deoderant containers are also used. ive seen a shank made of soap.
So he acquired some orange plastic and some black plastic. He wasn't making a shiv, so a simple melting and sharpening isn't enough. It had to be shaped. We are not talking about a shank, we are talking 'handcuff keys' TWO of them. Probably a good job that it wasn't a weapon, could have presented a real problem for the guards.
No matter who his 'incarcerated driver' is, he has discussed his escape plan with them, including where to meet. So this 'plan' was created during face to face visits with an outsider or a phone call to arrange the driver. I will infer that these were not monitored too closely.
He obtained two pieces of plastic that could be shaped into handcuff keys. Unlikely a toothbrush unless he also had a knife or lighter to cut/mold the shape. (so he obtained this item also). He has plenty of alone time between meals to shape his keys.
He smuggles said items to a court date since it mentions that he 'tried' the keys and then gets them BACK into the prison in his mouth and sock. Aren't inmates searched at all upon entry and exit?
He also has some one on one time with his fellow prisoners because when he discovers his driver is incarcerated he discusses a plan 'b' with an inmate.
Fortunately this inmate 'spills' before the Baker County court date, wears a wire to collect evidence and WRE is charged.
I understand that things can get past the guards, but EVERYTHING got past them here. This is an uncooperative suspect in the murder of a child, a violent addict and dealer. What would it take to have had a guard watch his movements/visits/calls a little more closely?
What if it had been a shiv not a key, and he used it whilst on his court outing?
We are all (myself included) calling this guy an idiot, but he got a LOT of stuff past the guards in less than a month (closer to 3 weeks).
