Escape From Death Row | Prison Documentary Best Crime Documentaries & Shows:    • Best Crime Documentaries & Shows | FD...   Despite its electronic gates and high tech security, Mecklenberg, Virginia’s “escape-proof” Death Row is a cage and the men who reside there are animals. But on a Spring day in 1984, some of the animals got out… In late October, a group of inmates slated for death launched the elaborate scheme that would set them free. Each of them was assigned a specific task, to include intelligence gathering, weapons fabrication and strategy. They researched guard rotations and telephone extensions. They fabricated numerous shanks (prison knives) with metal cut from doorways. As the escape plan was finalized, the calendar became their enemy. The rate of executions, fueled by public opinion, sped up across the nation. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe FD Crime for free: https://bit.ly/FDCrime Instagram: https://instagram.com/free.documentary/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #Crime #Documentary #Prison ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FD Crime will take you across borders, hot on the heels of international criminals active in the world of finance, and cybercrime.
