Wasn't that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you're whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn't you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it's entire purpose of existence?

I bet we can tie a lot of his actions to the boob tube schedule

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

In the first admin it was clear he was watching Fox by reading his tweets and comparing.
