Re: Week eight; Marisol Zaragoza. October 21-27, 2013.
Hello everyone,
I would like to bring your attention to a headline that I am still trying to conceptualize; how did an inmate create a shank from a comb? Nonetheless, on September 9th, 2013, Abraham Pearson also known as Derrick White escaped from the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice; he used a comb fashioned into a shank to stab a deputy multiple times in the neck. After he stabbed the deputy, he took the deputy’s clothes and keys and escaped using the prisoner elevator. It was noted Pearson was scheduled to be sentenced in Wayne County Circuit Court to serve a possible 15 years in prison for carjacking and robbery against a fifty year old female. What measures do you think could have been implemented to prevent escape such as this incident? Additionally, what do you think would be a reasonable sentence for Pearson? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/09/michigan-prisoner-escape/2786111/

Week eight blog has been posted; have a amazing day!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that his sentence was fair for his first offence on the carjack against the fifty year old women and his robbery. If they would ever find this suspect they should put him in for life without parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Alan, and I said the same thing about his sentence. Pearson First charge was set fair, but now Pearson needs to be charged life. He stabbed an officer, stole his uniform, and also escaped. Alan next time type a little bit more , so you can get a better grade. I’ll help you if you need it. I see that you’re maturing also. Good Job Alan. Keep up the good work.
DeleteI also have too agree with you Alan. He is a repeated offender. He should get life without parole. He only had 15 now he just dug himself a deeper hole now what for. Hence 23 hour Lockup Supervised all day long because theres no guarantee he wont or any other prisoner wont try this again.
DeleteI strongly agree as well. The punishment for his first offense was indeed reasonable. And as for murdering the officer, I would also give him life in prison. Scince he obviously had no remorse for his first and second crime
DeleteI agree with you. Since being charged with previous offenses and assaulting the security guard and escaping from jail, he should definitely pay for his actions. This shows that he is indeed a danger to society and if he is willing to do this, imagine what else he could do if not arrested.
DeleteI agree with you. The first sentence was reasonable for the carjacking and robbery, but he should have a higher sentence now. He murdered an officer by stabbing him to death and he should be punished. Because of his actions, I think it would be reasonable to give him life in prison.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Alan. He should be sentenced life without parole. He should've served the 15 years he received for the carjacking and robbery but in my perspective because he stabbed the deputy, he should receive life to add to those charges. Police officers should keep a close eye on the inmates for incidents like these. Someone should have recognized him and reported him.
DeleteYes I agree he should be sentenced to life for attacking and killing the officer.
DeleteI agree with you Alan. If he knew he only had 15 years in prison, why go and shank an officer? I think he deserves to spend the rest of his days sitting in a cell. Taking an officer's uniform is so disrespectful.
DeleteAll of this could have been provented if the guards had searcherd Pearson before he was taken in custody to go to court. It is dearly sad a poor deputy had to have his life taken in the process of Pearson escape ,but how could the other guards not recognized the man while he was dressed up the deputy's uniform . I think that there should be more precaution and searches on the prisoners.
DeleteI agree with you Kristina. This is why guards should always check the inmates and pat them down or something before taking them anywhere. It also amazes is me how no one noticed it was Pearson. His first sentencing for carjacking and robbery were fair. Unfortunately for him, he's just dug a deeper hole for himself. He should get life in prison with no chance of parole for killing the guard and escaping.
DeleteWell this is a very interesting topic Marisol. Prisoners always make weapons and try to cover up things. Police officers and security could have done a better job of watching the inmates come is sharp already, so I’m wondering why he evened have one. But inmates can make weapons out of anything. My uncle made a knife out of soap. So either way it go you should always expect the unexpected from them. They are criminals, but smart. The police officers should maximize their job and do what they have to do. Now somebody is hurt, and an inmate escaped. Pearson should have life in prison now without parole. Pearson already had some charges, because he robbed and carjacked an fifty year old woman. Now that he stabbed an officer, and took his identity and keys also escaped the prison. He stabbed the officer in the neck multiple times in the neck. So he is possibly in hospitalized or even not living at this point.
ReplyDeleteI Agree with you Bianca these prisoners are smart but do tend to do reckless things. The guards should be on point the whole time their on duty because one slip up or encounter with a prisoner who is not worried about anything could cause serious bodily injury or even death. So I believe greater precautions should be taken. Too insure nothing like this would happen.
DeleteI agree with you. Security guards should really check to see what the inmates have on them to further prevent things like this from happening. Inmates will come up with ways to escape and the guards must be prepared for that.
DeleteI completely agree with you Bianca. Inmates can and do make weapons out of objects, such as a comb like the inmate had. Yes, the guards should have kept a more close eye on the inmates, but they didn't which resulted in the inmate making the shank. Like you said yourself Bianca, you have to be ready for anything.
DeleteI agree with you Bianca, we need to make sure that people are safe not only the officers, but also other inmates as well. It does not matter if there's any "invasion of privacy" the prisoners gave that up when they committed the crime.
DeleteI agree with you, Bianca. The officers on duty should watch the inmates more carefully, because if not something like this may occur. Now an officer is wounded, and possibly dead because of negligence.
DeleteThis is a very fascinating topic. I would first like to point out in prison it is possible too create a shank from a comb. Locked up in a cell for along period of time with nothing to do it is possible that a prisoner could come up with a weapon. Although I feel the security should be looked at these are prisoners who have committed serious crimes shouldn’t it be more supervised. Looking at the prisoner’s background he wasn’t nowhere near learning from his mistakes. He turned 15 years to a possibility of life in prison without parole. Hence I believe that’s what he should get. As for the prison guard his life might not ever be the same that just shows how dangerous these prison guard jobs really are. Dealing with life’s who have nothing else too loose its pretty tough.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Ashley Cabrera. The prisoners have so much time in there hands. That’s the reason that there are able to create weapons. Pearson did turned 15 years to a possibility of life in prison. To the officer his life is going to change dramatically.
DeleteI agree, the prisoners do have a lot of time on their hands but he should've been searched. The seriousness off the crime should not determine how many times the inmates are checked, because once inside those four wall all they care about is survival. In their minds its either u or them and when they decided to escape because of lack of security no one is safe.
DeleteI agree with you Ashley, these prisoners have so much time to just sit there and weapons. Why was there lack of security though? I also agree that he should have been searched. This probably could have prevented this crime. Life in prison is what he deserved!
DeleteI completely agree with you Ashley. Increasing the security with surveillance cameras and more guards will help allot more to prevent all these things from happening again. As for life in prison, i also agree with you. He did not learn from his mistakes and now he has to go face the consequences.
DeleteI agree with you Ashley prisoners spend there whole time in prison,which helps them think and create weapons with anything. There should be more officers in each cell to prevent these things.
DeleteIn my perspective, prison guards should place security in every cell. This way, the inmates will be monitored at all times. Times are crazy, and the only solution seems to be invasion of privacy. We have to chose between freedom or safety. As far as sentencing, I would give him life in prison.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you Juan Carlos, prison guards should be placed in every cell to be more secure and make sure none of this happens again.
DeleteI get that nowadays are a little hectic. But if we provided each and every inmate with its pesonal guard then we would not only be taking in a lot of resorces but indagering the lifes of the guards even more. Because if we assign each inmate a guard we won't have any more resorces to provide a partner for them. Leaveing them to fend for themselves if an inmate where to attack.
DeleteGood point, maybe we should add a few more guards without over using our resorce, and impplement a new way of checking that inmates aren't creating weapons or anything harmful.
DeleteI totally agree with you Juan. Placing security in every cell should be their top priority. Now that an officer was stabbed multiply times and had his identity taken they should reconsider their security system. Its either a life or privacy is how I see it. The sentence is on point.
DeleteI agree with you, we need to make sure that people are safe not only the officers, but also other inmates as well. It does not matter if there's any "invasion of privacy" the prisoners gave that up when they committed the crime.
DeleteIf by "security" you mean cameras, then that would be useful but inmates can use them as an advantage. For example, they could break a camera so that the officers have to enter the cell and that's when they'll make their move.
DeleteI disagree with giving him life in prison. He did commit an awful crime, but I don't think he should get life in prison for it. He should at least receive 50 years in prison.
DeleteOkay I know I'm supposed to respond to Juan's comment but I saw Zaria's comment and I can not help but to reply to her! For starters how can you say killing another human being is not an awful crime? I do hope you know a deputy is not a robot, he is a human just like you and I. I strongly disagree with you he should get life in prison, I have no doubt that if that deputy would have been relative to you you would not be saying what you are. You need to rethink what you stated.
DeleteI agree with you juan carlos they should have security in each cell always.Also,to have more than one officer at each cell. I also agree on giving him prison for life.
DeleteI agree with you about the security. If they were strict with the security, then maybe there would be less incidents.
DeleteIn my point of view the first charge was fair for the carjack. On stabbing the police officer i think he should get a life sentence, because he also stole the officer's uniform. I don't think he should get out with parole, he deserves it. How ever i think that they should increase security in prisons. Every prisoner should be very well watched by a security guard so that prisoners will be watched all the time. So we can make sure none of this ever happens again.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you Cindy there should be more security in prisons. Like add cameras in the inmates room. that way we know what theit doing even at night. And of course add even more guards that way things like this won't happen ever again.
DeleteYes Cindy I couldn't agree with you more. Life sentence is something I would charge him with and without parole. He doesn't deserve parole because of his escape and now all of the charges pending on him couldn't make it worse. Increasing the security and watching over the prisoners is a really good idea.
DeleteI agree with you, the amount of security in a prison should increase. We need to make sure that the officers and other inmates are safe from any life threatening conditions.
DeleteGood point, I completely agree with you Cindy. He deserves life in prison. If there was an increase in security this situation probably could have been approached differently. Their security level needs to be improved!
DeleteYes I agree there should be more security in prisons.
DeleteI agree with you. It seemed a little too easy for the criminal to get away without any one doing a security check. They really need to step up on security for the future so they can prevent something like this from happening.
DeleteI totally agree with Cindy !!! That Pearson should life in prison because he murder a cop and was on his way to court to get sentenced for a car jack& robbery of a 50 year old women . Pearson in my opinion is a heartless man ,because he killed a man to escape prison for a crime he committed and know he will probably get life or maybe more years for the actions he committed .

ReplyDeleteI really wish I could say that this is really supriseing and that I can't beleive thing like this could happen. But unfortunately it happens. Yes there are ways that things like this could have a less probable chance to happen. Like maybe have all inmates come to a single room indivisualy to use a comb, thootbrush, or anything while supervised by officers. That way they don't have anything they could make into a weapon. Or maybe have inmates do something useful with their time that way they won't be tempted to create a weapon. After all idle hands are the devils hands. As for Pearson I would give him life in prison because he obviously has no remorse, and a danger to society.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel about this situation and that is a good idea to have inmates take turns when grooming them selves. I would also give him the same sentence.
DeleteI agree with you, the officers are forced to supply the inmates with personal hygiene, but they could let them one by one use their own stuff and then turn them back in. I would also give him life in prison because of his actions. They should have the inmates staying active as well, so they will not have time to make any dangerous weapon out of any material they own.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Juanita. The security systems should be upgraded and checked frequently in case police officers or security miss something. Prisoners should also be checked on more often because they can be up to no good since they have a lot of time on their hands.
DeleteHaving the inmates go to a separate room is a good idea. I also would have given him life in prison.
DeleteFor his first sentence it was pretty reasonable, but due to stabbing the security guard and escaping in his uniform, I would sentence him to 60 years in prison. Not only did he escaped but he assaulted and could have killed the security guard. Guards should pay more attention when it comes to what the inmates are getting and that they have on them.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the inmate should have an extended sentence. Although the question still remains how was he able to form a shank without any guards noticing him. I gather that it takes a lot of time to transform a comb into a shank and inmates are constantly being guarded. I believe that there are some dirty staff members involved.
DeleteI agree with you, the guards should be more attentive to their surroundings. They should visit every inmate and search every inch of their cell, so that they will find the weapon ahead of time. Also there should be at least two officers searching the room to prevent any stabbings from occurring. However, I believe that Pearson should get life in prison because the officer could have died due to the stabbings to the neck.
DeleteI agree with you Benjamin, we need to make sure that people are safe not only the officers, but also other inmates as well. It does not matter if there's any "invasion of privacy" the prisoners gave that up when they committed the crime.
DeleteI agree with you about the 60 year sentence. He was wrong for assaulting the officer but I am sure that Pearson was angry and just wanted to escape.
DeleteWell in order to prevent further accidents like this I would defenetly increase security. By recruiting more guards and servelince cameras. That way we are able to keep an eye on inmates at all times. I would also have daily checkups of their belongings to make sure they are not creating weapons of any sorts. As for pearson I would give him life in prison because what he did was wrong and it showed that he is incapable of learning from his mistakes
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Hugo Gonzalez. Increasing security it will help prevent things like this from happening. The officer’s nit to patrol more. I also like you opinion off the officers checking more the belongings of the prisoners.
DeleteI completely agree with you Hugo. Increasing the security with surveillance cameras and more guards will help allot more to prevent all these things from happening again. As for life in prison, i also agree with you. He did not learn from his mistakes and now he has to go face the consequences.
DeleteI agree with you Hugo, they should do daily checkups so they wont create new weapons of any kind. Also, Pearson should have a sentence for life, because if he robbed and stab probably next time he will kill someone to get freedom that he doesn't deserve.
DeleteHaving the guards check on the inmates belongings is a great idea. This way the guards know what they have and if something is missing they can quickly check him if he made a weapon.
DeleteJuancarlos has a great idea. The guards should use a check system that they can use to see what the inmates items are missing and make sure to searcher the inmates for the missing item so that can stop the inmate from doing any harm to anyone and prevent a stabbing or murder to come upon in the prison and keep the attacker on a careful watch .
DeleteMore guards means more money, one guard at each block is enough, but I strongly agree with the surveillance cameras though. Doing inventory on inmates belongings, really? Inmates steal from each other all the time, some of them are there for being thieves, it would be impossible to keep track of every single inmates belongings.
DeleteIn my opinion the sentence was reasonable. They nit to increase the security in the prison. They should also be more aware of the inmates. For what Pearson did to the officer I will give him 45 years in prison with out parole. I hope that everyone loners from this
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, there should be more security in detention facilities. A increase in security can greatly decreasevthe chance of an inmate escaping. It would have also prevented the officer from facing the inmate alone. This is a lesson that law enforcement should learn from.

ReplyDeleteReading this I can not help but wonder why he had a comb in the first place. Prisoners are suppose to have frequent searches of themselves and there bunks. There should have been no reason that the inmate was able to have a comb so that he could make a shank. He obviously was either helped or not checked thoroughly, and for that matter it's the staff who is at fault.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that the inmate wasn't searched properly. I also think that the guard should have checked his bunks and belongings beforehand this way the incident would not have happened.
DeleteWhile reading this, I could not help myself how inmates make unusual weapons to escape. In my opinion, to prevent escaping is to upgrade security, and watched by police officer every time with surveillance cameras in the area. Also should have personal things checked every time. A reasonable sentence for Pearson is life imprisonment with parole. Overall, officers should be checking inmates every minute no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement about having better security. I do not agree with giving Pearson life in prison. Pearson did commit an awful crime, so I at least he should receive 50 years in prison.
DeleteI agree with you. Officers should check the things in the inmate's cell. They should also check them better in case they are hiding something. The inmates should be checked frequently and at different times so they don't get used to the officer's schedule. They are very smart and know their surroundings very well. There should be more police officers on duty and better security to prevent from inmates escaping.
DeleteAlthough there are many ways to create good and bad objects I feel prisoners should be checked a lot often. Easy procedures that can be done are led to situations like this. The security system needs to be more upgraded and checked frequently. Items that are needed should be used individually in a room were they are being watched and taken up afterwards. The police should be more cautious of themselves and their surroundings, so nothing like this would happen again. On the other hand, every officer should know every other officer especially by futures and actually know the difference between inmates and officers. Abraham Pearson should be sentenced to 55 years of prison without parole reason being, he doesn't deserve parole when he already escaped the first time.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Alandra. The security systems should be upgraded and checked frequently in case police officers or security miss something. Prisoners should also be checked on more often because they can be up to no good since they have a lot of time on their hands. The officers should be able to tell the difference between the inmates and other officers and not just based on their uniforms. The police officers have to be very aware of their surroundings.
DeleteThere has to be more security measures in correctional facilities, and more check ups on the inmates. They have to insure the safety of the officers and other inmates. There has to be no reason why an inmate should be able to have in their possession an item that can cause the death of some one else. There can be no real measures of what we can do to ensure safety in a correctional facility. The inmates will always find another way of trying to hurt someone for any reason. As to the sentence I would give him life in prison with no parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree they should check the inmates more often. In order to ensure the safety of officers and other inmates random checks should be issued. If the officer had another officer with him watching the inmate he would have not gotten away
DeleteI agree with you. The officers should have should have a lot more frequent checkups to see what the inmates are up to. Some inmates are just angry all the time and want to take their anger out. They're very smart about creating weapons, so deputies need to be more aware of that. The inmates should also not be allowed to have sharp or pointy objects that can be made into a weapon. The officers need to be more cautious when they are around the inmates.
DeleteIt is possible for an inmate to make a weapon out of anything. Although, I do not understand why he had a comb. And a prisoner shouldn't be able to just walk out like that. He should be given 60 years with out parol. The officers should travel in a pair to insure that they have backup when needed.
ReplyDeleteYes, an inmate can create weapons from common items. The officers on duty should work together in order to prevent inmates from escaping. This also ensures that a officer would have a greater chance of keeping order in the cells. Higher security can also prevent these incidents from occurring.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteRomero, I agree with Lesley blog. If Pearson just injured the officer he should receive fifteen years without parole, but he stab the officer in the neck and kill him that will be life in prison without parole. However, the inmates are smart enough to create any implements to be able to escape. Also, the officer should have a back up to cover him just in case if theirs a problem with the inmates.
DeleteIn my opinion, the officers should have been watching more carefully. The measures should be taken higher and more serious. The reasonable life sentence should be life in prison. His first sentence was reasonable but then he murdered an officer now he deserves life in prison. It still shocks me that the guards didn't watch more carefully. Hopefully next time they'll be more careful.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you, the officers should have been watching more carefully and constantly. Excatly like you said he killed an officer and should be sentence to life.
DeleteI strongly agree, the officers should have been more carefull and aware of the inmates & they should be taken more serious.
DeleteIt is unfortunate that the deputy had to deal with the inmate alone. There should have been more law enforcement employees working to prevent the incident. The law enforcement employees need to carry an identification card. The ID should also be inspeceted before entering and exting the building. Abraham Pearson needs to receive life without parole if he killed the officer. If the
ReplyDeleteofficer was only injured severly, Pearson should receive fifty years without parole.
I agree Lesley, those are some very good points concerning the security ideas. Its a shame a Deputy had to be hurt by an inmate in order for these topics of security to be brought up. Your sentence for Pearson are very reasonable and I agree.
DeleteI agree with you Lesley, the law enforcement employees should have an ID so they could be different from others. probably they should also have finger print doors so they can go through doors in order if the prisoners try to scape they wont be able to do so.
DeleteI absolutely agree with you Lesley, there should have been more law enforcement employees working to prevent that incident. Also, the identification cards it's a great idea. The finger print code to the doors sounds great too, like Jessie said.
DeleteIn my perspective the first charge Pearson received for carjacking and robbery was reasonable but now for stabbing a deputy he should receive life without parole. I think police and security should do a better job as it relates to keeping an eye on the inmates. We don't want this to happen again because it means putting the public in danger. They should check on the inmates more often because no one wants situations like these to repeat themselves. Especially since prisoners do have so much time in there hands they are able to create weapons.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you Marisol the first possible sentence was very reasonable. In my opinion the sentence for the first crime could have been a lot worst. But yes the security should be way more strict especially for criminals who committed a more violent crime.
DeleteI agree with you Marisol, police officers should have done a better job by watching inmates and the inmates surroundings. Like you said we do not want the public to be in danger and it should not be in danger by not watching inmates correctly.
DeleteIt's insane to hear how an inmate could attack an officer and attempt to escape. My question is WHERE WERE THE OTHER OFFICERS? WHY WASN'T THIS INMATE SEARCHED PRIOR TO THE CRIME? The police and security needs to be improved and actually perform their jobs to prevent any other crime that could happen. I mean after all these prisoners do have so much spare time. As for his first charge for carjacking and robbery was ABSOLUTELY reasonable and now for stabbing the officer in the neck he deserves life in prison without the possibility of parole. I also he should be placed under suicide watch.
ReplyDeleteI agree where were the other officers when all this was taking place .I don't understand how he was able to stab the deputy and escape without being noticed by anyone ,but he must have been watching the deputy for a long time .This had to be have premeditated .
DeleteRegardless of what the officer was doing at the time of the stabbing, there should have been another officer with him. If another officer was with him, the stabbing could have been prevented. The officers should be more attentive to their surroundings and always have another officer with them to avoid dangerous situations like this one. They should check up on the inmates and search every inch of their cell. The inmates are there for a reason and they are capable of making weapons out of the littlest things. The officers should be more alert on giving them their hygiene supplies by watching them use the item and then taking it back for the next day. They should have a different process on providing the inmates with their necessities. As for Pearson, he should be sentenced to life in prison for putting an officer’s life in danger.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you . Hopefully this is a less ones learned for every guard . Now maybe guards will use techniques differently as before . Inmates can be dangerous . So safety needs to be assured .
DeleteI absolutely agree with you. There should be more than one person on guard to prevent this from happening. This could have been easily prevented if there was another guard on duty.
DeleteI absolutely agree with you. There should be more than one person on guard to prevent this from happening. This could have been easily prevented if there was another guard on duty.
DeleteThe inmate was sentenced correctly to 15 years for first offense for carjacking and robbery in case of 50 year old lady. He should get life without parole for stabbing and killing an officer with a comb not knowing where the inmate got it from. The inmate tried to get easy way out of a sentencing by escaping prison did not work like he wanted it come a free man. The inmates have to checked frequently and efficiently so something like this would not happen again soon.The inmate should be locked up for his bad thing he has done to himself to be sentence a longer time in prison.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you he was not sentenced correctly, he should have got over 15 years of prison. But I do agree with you that he should have got life in prison for killing a deputy. You are correct again inmates should be checked more frequently but maybe they should do it surprisingly so the inmates do take it as routine also so something like this wont happen again.
DeleteIn my opinion the sentence for the initial crime Pearson was given was more than rreasonable. That being said, he being an inmate with a violent record. Should have been taken into consideration. It truly is a shame that a Deputy was hurt. Inmates have so much time on their hands to make just about anything while incarcerated. The identification cards that lesley brought up are an excellent idea. If Pearson was able to walk about the the prison and impersonate the deputy then the prison should have cards to past certain locatios throughout the facility. With the Officers information and picture identification card.
ReplyDeleteI most defiantly agree with Valerie and Lesile, having identification cards would be a very smart way to control the jail. I also agree about the fact that they should have taken more precautions knowing the fact that the inmate had a violent record.
DeleteI agree with you Valerie, that the charges was reasonable for the first crime. Yes there is something wrong with that prison if an inmate can easily kill and walk out of prison. The government needs to go and change a lot of things in that prison. Also they need to add more officers to that prison. The whole thing with the identification cards are good and also adding like fingerprint door opener. That might could of help.
DeleteIndeed, I agree with you Valerie. The fact that the inmate is violent should have been taken in consideration. Maybe different methods could have been applied when it came to this inmate. Also, the identification cards would be a great idea.
DeleteI like that idea about identification cards. It would have helped prevent the escape from the inmate. It's crazy how Pearson could just walk out! They really do need to up their security or else another incident like this one might happen.
DeleteI frankly believe that his sentence was fair for his first offence on the carjack against the fifty year old women and his robbery. If they would ever find this suspect they should put him in for life without parole. Regardless of what the officer was doing at the time of the stabbing, there should have been another officer with him.
ReplyDeleteMy perspective, prison guards should place security in every cell. This way, the inmates will be monitored at all times. Times are crazy, and the only solution seems to be invasion of privacy. We have to chose between freedom or safety. As far as sentencing, I would give him life in prison.
ReplyDeleteHaving two police officers going to check up on the inmates could have probably prevented this event. It would have been harder to eliminate two officers than one. The first sentence he received was reasonable for the crime he committed. Now that he committed an abhorrent crime; he should receive around 40 years prison.
ReplyDeleteTwo police officers on duty would help a lot! This probably would have prevented the whole situation. They shouldn't have let one officer alone with all the inmates. I agree that the original sentencing was reasonable. After the stabbing, I think 40 years also seems reasonable.
DeleteI agree Zaira, two guards being present could have prevented the whole situation His original sentence was reasonable and he could have just gone through with it instead of having the possible 40 years or even life in prison for the stabbing of the guard, impersonating a guard and escaping prison.
DeleteI can honestly say that this is not surprising to me. You have to see that these inmates want freedom and they would do anything to get out of prison. All of the inmates have access to combs, thootbrush, or anything to have. They would use these items for protection from other inmates. But in that situation this man thought of freedom with no kind of fear of killing a man. In my perspective the first charge Pearson received for carjacking and robbery was reasonable but now for stabbing that deputy he should receive life without parole. I know that they search inmate but I wonder how come there was only one deputy with this inmate. Especially since prisoners do have so much time in there hands they are able to create weapons.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that inmates will do anything for freedom. Deputy's shouldn't be with an inmate one on one because there is no telling what the inmate will do.
DeleteI agree Crystal that it is extremely interesting that he use a comb to make weapon. I also that he should get the death penalty. But first I would like him to at least serve time for the first crime then go to death penalty. Also to prevent things like this from happening we need to increase protection in the prison.
DeleteI am astonished by this, even though I have herd of such incident. It is still very shocking that the court or jail systems haven't done anything to cause less deaths like this. What I would do to prevent this would be to send more than one deputy to get the inmate that way if things go bad you have your back up there to help you out. Marizol didn't inform us if the deputy died, but multiple stabbings to the neck kind of makes it obvious that he did. Never the less the punishment I would give this inmate would be life in prison with out parole.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it all depends on who is running the prison I wouldn't blame it on the criminal justice system ,but I do believe that they should take more precautions .I honestly feel that we do in a way have to remember that these inmates are very sneaky so you really don't know what their next move will be.
DeleteIn my opinion, I believe they should be more prison guards to prevent what happen. Also they should do unexpected checkups on what the prisoners have in their cells. The reasonable sentence for Pearson should be about 50 years, because if he robbed and carjack before stabbing. Probably next time he doesn't stab or rob probably he can even kill the victim.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there should be random cell checks so if they where making a weapon the guards would have found it. If there was more guards someone would have probably noticed that a guard has been stabbed.
DeleteI agree that there should have been more guards watching the inmates. There should be check ups to make sure they don't have handmade weapons that can hurt the guards or other inmates.
DeleteI agree with you Jesse, they should have more prison guard to watch the inmates for any cause. Also, if we have any prison guard they should do a better job by checking the inmates at all time for their safety and the safety of others. Inmates are smart that they could create any implement out of anything.
DeleteFrom my point of view I think that they should keep any objects that inmates might use as a weapon away from them because inmates could use anything to create weapons such as shanks. And about the prisoner escaping if it was only one guard, then they need to have more guards escorting him not one. If they catch him he ain't gonna get 15 years, he is gonna get life in prison without parole
ReplyDeleteYou cannot possibly keep everything that an inmate can use as a weapon away form him. With an idle mind one can come up with the craziest ideas, that might just work. One can use pants to strangle someone, one can break the leg of a bed and forge it into a spear. It would take time to turn some objects into weapons, but if anyone has time, it's an inmate that locked up for life without chance of parole.
DeleteI believe that the prison should have better security .These immates want to have freedom they would go through everything and anything to escape.Where was the officer at when the stabbing started? If the officer was there with a other office that wouldn't had happen.The immates are in prison everyday which gives them ideas to make weapons with any little thing.In my perspective Pearson should be sentenced in prison for life.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the officer should have had another officer with him when going into the situation and maybe money or schedules didnt allow two officers to work for the transfer of the inmate but after this incident I'm sure they changed their policy & the way they handle inmates in transfers & as well a new searches for weapons. The sentence seems harsh unless death had occurred but 20yrs sounds like a fair amount of years.
DeletePrisoners are smarter than you think. That is why I say the guards should search the cells everyday for weapons or things that can hurt you or another inmate. I would have gave the prisoner 25 years in prison instead of 15.
ReplyDeleteI agree about "prisoners are smarter than you think." Because it is true they are capapble of doing anything to get out of there & they have nothing better to do but to ne creative. So yes the guards should search their cells everyday.
DeleteI also agree about prisoners are smarter than what we think. Prisoners plan things out before they do the action. And yes, the guards should seach the prisoners cells everyday to see if they have any weapons.
DeleteI agree with the sentencing he got at first for carjacking a 50 year old women but now that actually killed a deputy & escaped from prison he should be sentenced for life in prison with no possibility of parole.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the correctional officers could have prevented this from happening, they should have kept a better eye on the inmates & done more search & siezures.
I strongly agree with you, he should be in prison for life. They should have kept a better eye on the inmates. They should keep an eye on the inmates more often for now on.
DeleteNo matter the rules, laws, security etc, inmates will find a way to make weapons one way or another. They are trying to get freedom, and they won't stop. This isn't fair, they're hurting innocent people just because. They should honestly increase the security. They just can't let inmates get away that easy. If one inmate is successful escaping then the rest will try. A reasonable sentence for Pearson would be life in prison, what he did wasn't right.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the sentence for Pearson. He should get life in prison with no parole for killing an innocent person.
DeleteI agree they do find a way to escape no matter what, but we should at least try to stop them. We have to be able to have better security to prevent the murders of innocent people. It is true that they can’t let him get away that easily. They should give him life in prison. This way other inmates can see that they should think twice before trying to escape.
DeleteI agree inmates will try anything to get freedom . Security does need to be more advanced . There's many incidents like this , why haven't they stepped up their game . Life is a good sentenced .
DeleteThis would not have happened if the security was better. The officers should check the inmates more often. I think a reasonable sentence for Pearson would be life imprisonment without parole or seek the death penalty, for stabbing the deputy, taking the deputy's clothes and keys to escape.
ReplyDeleteHow did the man walk out with out bein questioned.There should be a protalcal on how people or workers exit the building.The man had a dead officers uniform on.No question that was a really bad mistake for the company.They should make it that easy for people to come out the building.
DeleteThe measures that could have been implemented to prevent escape such as this incident would be to check the immates rooms and the actual immates for any type of weapon or anything in general. Each immate should receive a strip check daily. If Pearson had his room check and was stripped checked, maybe he would still be in prison instead of escaping.Additionally, I think eight years would a reasonable sentence for Pearson. Now that Pearson has done another crime, he should be sentenced to fifteen plus, extra years.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Andrea. The measures the prison has regarding supervision should be double checked as well as redone. The safety preconscious should not only be for the other prisoners but should be for the guards as well as the community. All inmates should be stripped three times a day to make sure incidents such as this one does not occur again
DeleteThis would of never happen if the deputy's would do more searches an seizures. The officers know that the inmates will do anything for freedom and should be more caution when dealing with them. If they find Pearson a reasonable sentence would be life in prison with no parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you a 100%. Tjis would have never happen if the officers did more searches & were aware of the inmates. Inmates don't have anything to do but cause trouble. This should be as a lesson for officers & improve.
DeleteI agree they need to search each inmate so things would not happen bad to them.They sentence Pearson to life without parole.
DeleteThe sentencing they gave him for carjacking a 50 year old women was reasonable. Now him murdering the debuty was unreasonable, he has problems & needs to see someone for that. May the deputy R.I.P but as in the other officers they should take this as a wake up call & be more aware of the inmates & keep an eye of their every move & also search their cells everyday.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that an inmate was able to even be allowed to have a comb amazes me. Most inmates can make weapons out of anything. The guards should have checked the inmates for weapons or things that are prohibited for them to have. I do hope they find the inmate before he causes more harm to another person. He should have served his fifteen years and probably with good behavior would have gotten out in early.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nangel it does amaze me that he even had a comb in the first place. The guard did not check the inmate properly. Also the fact that now he will be serving more time. I agree he could have done the 15 year and with good behavior he could have probably gotten out early. I do hope they find him so he doesn’t harm others.
DeleteOne way this could have been prevented was if the guards regularly checked the inmates belongings and the inmates themselves. Also there should be more guards on duty and when they need to move an inmate they should be in pairs so that they can have each other's back.
ReplyDeleteI don't think these type of incidents should occur it should be a very secured place to where inmates are not able to do these type of things 15 years in prison was fair enough , but now since he chose to not do his time I believe it would only be fair to have life with out parole first time might be a mistake second it's just not okay.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you it should be a very secured place no one can leave with out a i.d bage or with hand cuffs.Thats the most important thing they have to worrie about is somes saftey and look what happed a officer lost his life this should have never happened.
DeleteHe is a repeated offender and should definitely get life in prison or the death penalty. Pearson’s first sentence was reasonable, but now he stabbed and killed a deputy. He is incapable from learning from his mistakes and a threat to society. Pearson was probably angry that he had to serve 15 years from his previous crime, so he let it out on a deputy. He was probably planning this for quite a while and he really knew what he was doing. Since the criminals have so much free time in their cells, they will try to make things and plan their escape. The criminals are not dumb and they observe everything. The police could have prevented this from happening if there were more deputies watching Pearson. They need a larger security group to prevent from someone getting hurt again. They should have had police monitoring Pearson’s every move.
ReplyDeleteThere should have been no way that he could have escaped.There should be lockdown security where they are holding criminals.When criminals are placed in holding they are striped down and should be searched.Anything dangrous found on then or can cause harm should be taken up.So no damage will be done or to prevent anything like this from happeing.There should have stoped him leaveing the holding.They should have a way when anyone leaves should go through a checked out and make sure they are the rite person.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you joe, it shouldn't be as easy as it was for Pearson to escape prison. Inmates need to be searched thoroughly for the safety of the guards. As for him being able to escape in the guards uniform, that should also be looked into. They must show ID or some type of identification to be sure something like that doesn't happen again.
DeletePrisoners make a weapon out of anything know so it really isn’t a big surprise. Know for preventing this to happen again make sure to do a search the prisoner properly before leaving the prison cell. They could also have more than one deputy to escort the prisoner to his or her destination. Know for what he was charged for the carjacking I believe the 15 years in prison was fair. Of course know his sentencing will be different.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Alba. The fifteen years was indeed fair, and there does need to be stricter supervision in the prison. If there was to be stricter supervision the inmates would not be escaping nor would they have routes stating the nearest exit. All inmates should be busy in workshops.
DeleteYour right, this isn't surprising at all. This happens all the time and we hear many story about prisoners escaping jail. What surprises me the most is that extra measures haven't been take to prevent this.Also the sentence was fair but his deserves life in prison.
DeleteDerrick White is not the first inmate to do this or will be the last we hear about inmates making alcohol in prison and ect. So to be honest we have to remember that these are very intelligent individuals ,and they have nothing but time to find another way to escape. Some of these criminals IQ levels are very high ,and they can basically use almost anything to make a weapon .To be honest the only thing I can say for the deputy's working at the prison is to be very observant,but to be honest this is the risk they take everyday .Working at these prisons ,but that doesn't justify the death of that deputy.So I would give him the death penalty to make sure this incident never happens again ,because apparently he has proven himself to be unsafe for society.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion he should be imprisoned for life because he was a repeated offender. Offenders should have a nightly check up, such as stripping down the whole bunk as well as themselves making sure they have nothing there not suppose to. Each time the offenders would like to go somewhere as well as morning and afternoon they should be checked at all times, not for there safety but for everyone's. The prisoners should not be able to know the secret exits. All exits in the prison should be protected as well as guarded at all times through out the day.
ReplyDeleteAlexis, I agree with your statement but doing a nightly check up for every single inmate takes a lot of time. I believe they shouldn't have daily or nightly check ups but random check ups. This way the prisoners wouldn't expect it.
DeleteI agree with your sentence, but the nightly check up would take a lot of time. I think there should be a weekly check up of the inmate's bunks or they should have random check ups. They should also thightened up security and have more staff on duty.
DeleteI believe that more safety measures should be taken in order for officers not be harmed in any way. They did not do such a good job, since Pearson had enough time to create the shank. One security is not enough to handle these prisoners because you never know what could happen. Also, the sentence given to Pearson for carjacking and robbery seems fair, although I personally would give him more time. As for the sentence on stabbing the prison guard and impersonating one to escape should be life in prison without parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree with crystal, there should be at least two prison guards handling one prisoner. People these are crazy for freedom.
DeleteYou're right Crystal. I also talked about having better safety precautions when it deals with prisoners. They'll do anything they can to gain freedom. I'd also give him life without parole
DeleteWow the things that prisoners do when they are disparate. I am not surprise though I’ve actually seen a comb that was actually a knife. There really easy to make. I believe that prisoners should maybe be blind folded when they are being moved transferred from place to place. Also deputies should have a tracking device on them so if one of them gets hurt they’ll be notified right away. Pearson’s first sentence was reasonable for the crime that he committed, but now after this incident I’ll give him 70yrs in prison without parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree Christian. Police officers shouldn't trust them in the first place. They do need more protection though. Now a days you can't seem to trust anyone actually.
DeleteIn my perspective, the security should be more monitored to the inmates at all time to prevent several incident where an officers life always in risk. There should always be two officers monitored the inmate instead of one. Yet they should search the room and as well as the inmate very well for the safety of them. As they are very tricky in creating implement materials. Also, the officer should always be alert and not to trust any inmates. Hence, I know Pearson deserve 15 years in prison for carjacking and robbery against the fifty year old women, but for reasonable sentence he should get life in prison without parole for killing the Deputy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Crystal, officers realy need a reality check. Any criminal is just waiting to escape and will do anything. Maybe this will help them and they can learn there lesson.
DeleteThis incident could simply have been prevented by just having more than just one officer on duty. Staff issues would be to blame in my opinion. We need someone to have our back just in case something goes wrong, as it did on this occasion. As for Pearson's sentencing, I would give him 50 years in prison without parole and send him to get psychological help. The reasoning is because his family said he would have hallucinations and hear voices.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Lourdes but I do not know all the details of what happened. You do have a point there should be somebody on watch or as you said to have there back just in case something goes wrong as did. If his own family said he heard voices and would have hallucinations he should of been in having psychological help !!!
DeleteI agree with you Lourdes there should of been more officers on duty. One person can't do it all. I also agree with your sentencing he should stay in prison the rest of his life. He needs psychological help if he just does these crimes like nothing.
DeleteI definitely agree with you Lourdes. Part of this blame goes on the staff. Like I commented before, isn't someone suppose to be in a room watching all the cameras? How did this man commit this murder without anyone seeing or hearing a thing? In my opinion this man is a coward. He made a mistake and he wasn't willing to pay for it. He only had 15 years but now for this he should get life in prison without any chances of parole. We can't have him near our communities and public.
DeleteI believe the sentence for the first crime was reasonable. As for the stabbing of the deputy, I feel as of that is the prison's fault for not enforcing it's rules. Prisoners will do anything without regard on who they hurt. They need to be stricter. They need to do everything in their power to ensure the safety. It's a shame what happened to the deputy, but it could've been avoided.
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with you Absalon . I agree that the sentence for the first crime was reasonable, and also that the stabbing could have been avoided. I disagree with you that it was the prisons fault because how were they suppose to know that the stabbing would occur.
DeleteThere's only so much you can do to keep a criminal in captivity. Never the less he is a criminal he is in there for a reason for a crime he committed. What I think Deputy's and Jailers do is take there job serious be more attentive I'm not saying there not ,but this criminals are in solitary confinement all day, and they all want nothing more but then to get out. Being as that is these criminals develop creative and in ways intelligent plans to get out or create weapons to get out. I just hope deputes and jailers are more attentive and watchful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Diego , this hopefully is a wake up call for all deputies to keep their eyes open. A crimnial is a criminal and they will always try to find a way to escape.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the inmate should be sentenced to life for killing the officer. Also there should have been more security and awareness so that this could have been avoided. This is not the first time an inmate has made a weapon in jail; I feel that the officer dropped his guard and it cost him his life.
ReplyDeleteIn my view point, the inmate should be sentenced to life in prison with no parole. He took the time to make a shank out of a comb, and wound a officer on duty. Now the officer may be dead or seriously hurt. There should've been better security watching all the inmates. It makes me wonder how could an inmate do all of this unsupervised, and then take an officer's uniform. Someone else should've been watching.
ReplyDeleteThis incident should be a eye opener for the prison guards . They need to check up more on the inmates . Inmates are hungry for a way to escape . So the fact that Pearson found a way to use a comb as a weapon is shocking but then not surprising . The 15 years is a reasonable for his earlier charge but now he needs life . He killed an officer and escaped . He now needs to be watch more when caught. Hopefully guards get more safety .
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Debeney, that incident should of been an eye opener for all the guards and their security. I also agree that more security should be established for the safety of all the gguards.
DeleteIt's true. Prisoners want freedom, so they'll do anything to get it. I'm with you Debeny. Hopefully this shows people that inmates aren't to be taken lightly. We must always keep an eye on them
DeleteThat's a very interesting blog Marisol. I'm very amazed on how that inmate created a shank out of a comb, and how he used it to murder the deputy. Many offenders are very smart especially when it comes to commiting crimes and escaping out of prison. It's very detrimental that the deputy died because of Pearson's cold hearted actions. The sentence Pearson was going to receive for his offense of the robbery was precise do to his actions, and I believe now he should be sanctioned to life in prison without parole. More security should be established in the cells to prevent further incidents like the death of the deputy.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the sentencing for this man for the first crime. The man robbed and carjacked a 50 year old woman. In my opinion if you do the crime you pay. Then he had a comb fashioned into a shank and killed the deputy with multiple stabbed wounds in his neck. I believe this man should spend his life in prison.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Elishua. Pearson's first sentence was very resonable do to his actions . I also agree that this man should be locked up in prison for the rest of his life .
DeleteI strongly agree with you on this one Elishua. If a crime is committed than the culprit should be accountable for their crime. A crime dealing with murder should be absolutely be taken serious and should face a sentence that best fits his or her actions that were done to commit such a crime.
DeleteI totally agree Elishua. I mean 15 years isn't really that bad compared to what he's going to get now after they find him. Obviously he didn't think before he took action. I also think he should get life in prison.
DeleteIn my opinion the sentence for his first crime was reasonable. I think that there isn't much that they can do about the prisoners making weapons. Prisoners can make a weapon out of anything nowadays. I say hire more staff in order to keep a better eye on the inmates. When he is catched he should be sentence to life in prsion without parole.
ReplyDeleteJose I agree with you one hundred percent on this. More eyes equal more surveillance and with that there would be a better possibility of safeness for these guards on duty when dealing with these awful criminals. And your also right on another thing, any little thing can be considered a weapon.
DeleteI agree with you Jose that the sentence for his first crime was reasonable. An also that inmates can make weapons out of anything. They should also hire more staff to help protect more the prisons, so no one gets hurt.
DeleteWhen reading through the blog the most important thing that boggles my mind is safeness. Knowing that criminals are capable of mastermind crimes there is no surprise when a criminal tries to give a fight to a guard on duty, not only did a crime accrued but, there were two crimes committed. The question that should be asked is how did Pearson actually have a significant good amount of space to actually shank the guard multiple times. There should have been at least another guard on duty to make sure everything was okay. Pearson not only committed a crime before this incident but, know should be facing the life in prison or even death row. In my opinion, Pearson should get the death penalty.
ReplyDeleteWow, why am I not surprised. This is a very interesting article Marisol. I surely don't understand why Pearson also known as Derrick White did that. To be honest 15 years is much better than what he's going to get now. Then again his own family said he wasn't right mentally so therefore he just needs help. The fact that the police officer didn't have anyone else monitoring him is highly unacceptable. Don't they know they're prisoners and that they should be aware of everything surrounding them 100% of the time? I also think that the police officers doing check ups or anything in particular should do them at random times that way they won't be able to plan anything in specific because now they won't know the daily routine. I definitely think pearson should receive 75 years in prison with no parole. I think it's reasonable because like I had said 15 years wasn't that bad the fact that he didn't think before taking action was a big mistake for pearson.
ReplyDeleteI believe that there could have been extra measures taken to have prevented this from happening. There could have been at least 2 deputies watching over the inmate. At the doors they should have someone checking everyone's identification cards to make sure that they are who they say they are. I believe that a reasonable sentence for Pearson would be life in prison with the possibility of parole.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that he was able to kill a deputy and escape from where he was being detained. For where ever he was being held at the moment of the attack; they should have guards at every exit and have the guards check for the deputy’s identification. Since he killed a police officer he will be charged with capital murder which consists of the death penalty or life in prison. I believe that he should get the death penalty.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% Jose. He should get the death penalty because he committed a crime with in a crime. First he stabbed the guard, took his clothes, then escaped! That is more than enough reasons to give him the death penalty and he deserves it.
DeleteWow, interesting topic In deed, how did he fashion a comb into a weapon fot stabbing is my question.In my opinion I think there shouldn't only be one deputy watching the prisoners . There could atleast be 3 of them, that way alot of things can be prevented. As for his time he deserves 99 years in prison meaning life, with out parole not only for butchering that deputy. Also for carjacking and comitting robbery to a poor 50 year old woman.
ReplyDeleteYour definitely right, there should of been other deputies watching the prisoners.This shouldn't of happened if the security was stricter. Also this sentence he deserves is life in prison for his crime.
DeleteI think the fifteen year sentence he received from car jacking that fifty year old women fit the crime. I don't understand why he was allowed to have a comb inside of the prison. We know how criminals think they will find a way to make anything into a weapon and making a comb into a knife is extremely easy to do. They should be more cautious for future reference.
ReplyDeleteIn also agreeing with you Josh, its scary enough that a comb becomes such a painful weapon where the security didn't know. I also want to point out that how are they suppose to be cautious? What are they ways in being cautious enough to prevent an object to into a harmful weapon?
DeleteI agree with you on how easy it is to make a weapon out of anything.Now I believe that all prisons are going to take production around inmates.
ReplyDeleteAbraham Pearson’s sentence was fair for car jacking a fifty year old but now that he has committed this crime he deserves life in prison no parole. This is so shocking that Person was able to escape using the deputy’s clothes and keys without anyone noticing. Security become stricter with deputies coming in and out of the Frank Murphy Hall
ReplyDeleteIn agreeing with you Vannesa, security should be strict enough. By the cause of this Abraham Pearson 15 year sentenced should now be life in prison.
DeleteThis is shocking to hear that an inmate killed an an innocent police officer with just a comb. Somehow for these types of circumstance the police officers watching or guarding the prison cell of the inmates should at least check on them to see if they're up to something. I cant but to bare enough how a comb became a deadly weapon in costing someones life. As for Pearson I would give him life in prison because he obviously has no remorse, and a danger to society.
ReplyDeleteYes is it very shocking but like Ms. Harrell always says " An idle mind is the devils workshop". Inmates are just hungry to escape and will think and so anything to do it. I agree with you Javier he should get life I'm prison.
DeleteI am not surprised one bit about the comb that was fashioned into a shank, I have heard of toothbrushes, screwdrivers, spoons, and even bones that were forged into shanks. Inmates have a lot of free time, and like Mrs. Harrel says, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." With all that spare time inmates can think up of very crazy ways to shave off a few years of their sentences. Anyone with sand paper, a toothbrush an lots of time can create a shank. What surprises me is that no one saw the guard get stabbed. From my understanding one guard takes care of a block, their the only ones there, but shouldn't they have surveillance cameras? One surveillance camera would have suffice to supervise the block that inmate was in and would have easily prevented the incident.
ReplyDeleteYour so right Miguel, since they have so much free time they can think about just anything or everything. Its just crazy how there is so much madness around in this world. There should be a policy of keeping those inmates busy doing something rather than just nothing and thinking of ways to kill.
DeleteThis man is crazy , him making a shank out of a comb has left me cryptic. Wow , no doubt these criminals are starving to get out of prisonI so agree his first sentenced is fair, but I think he should get an additional of 60 years in prison. Not only did he murder a police officer but he as well car jacked and robbed a poor 50 year old woman. I really hope this is a wake up call to all police officers to come up with better ways to watch immates.
ReplyDeleteWow. I never knew you could transform an ordinary comb into a deadly weapon. It suprises me how he managed to do that in prison, a place where there's suppose to be high security and what not. The other thing that gets to me is how no one saw him do this and didn't notice that the "guard" was Pearson. It's like my peer Miguel says. Isn't there suppose to be cameras and people always watching them? Pearson's first sentencing fits his crime though I think I would've given him a bit longer. Since now he's gone to the extent of taking someone's life and escaped prison, he should get life in prison with no chance of parole. He seems like a dangerous man who needs to be put away from the public.
ReplyDeleteI think that its the prisons fault for Pearson's escape. It doesn't matter what the people are wearing when they exit the building, they should do a identity confirmation on everyone leaving including the deputy's. Yes, he 15 years in prison was a good punishment for carjacking but, in this case I would give him life in prison with the death penalty.
ReplyDeleteThings that could have been implemented to prevent an escape such as this one should be more than one officer to an inmate, more security to the building, and people paying attention to their surroundings and acquaintances. If there was more than one officer to an inmate the stabbing would have never happened due to at least one of the officers paying attention to detail and handling procedures well. Also had there been more security then the prisoner wouldn't have made it out of the building because the security would have noticed, which takes me to the other thing that is people paying attention to their surroundings and acquaintances. Some one should have noticed that the inmate was not officer Tolliver there is obviously an age difference (inmate 25, officer 63). I believe Pearson should receive the full punishment of his sanction without parole due to him being a habitual felon and him proving himself to be a menace to society.
