Dylann Roof sentenced to death

[abaris]

Ted Bundy actually escaped from a Colorado jail where he was being held for trial for crimes he committed in that state. He obtained a hack saw from a fellow inmate and cut an opening in the drywall large enough for him to squeeze through and escape.

Yeah, back in '77, '78 - I'm not entirely sure which year it has been, but security was a lot less tight than it is today. Also he hadn't been convicted then. So he was in pretrial custody, which again is a lot less tight than an actual maximal security prison. If I remember correctly, he escaped from a library, since they had to give him access to law literature.

Ted Bundy has escaped twice, but pretrial. He didn't escape from death row and I dare you to name even one instance of a death row inmate escaping in the last 4 or 5 decades. Name one escaping from Supermax, for that matter.
