| 0:00.0 | The year 1990 was a rough one for the prison system in the United States. |
| 0:08.1 | In just that year alone, 7,244 people escaped incarceration. |
| 0:14.5 | To give you an idea of how much has changed in the past 34 years, today it is estimated |
| 0:19.7 | around 2,000 inmates slip through the cracks and find |
| 0:22.8 | their way to freedom annually. That number seems like a lot, but that statistic is mostly accounting |
| 0:28.8 | for people in minimum security facilities, such as local jails. But in the year 1990, |
| 0:35.6 | particularly Mississippi and Florida, had some high security breaches that |
| 0:40.1 | allowed murderers to run loose. Some of them got out and with their freedom, they killed again. |
| 0:46.3 | Others have still not been found. Like Glenn Chambers, for example, he was incarcerated in |
| 0:52.0 | Polk City, Florida for murdering his girlfriend and escaping by hiding in a prison delivery truck. |
| 0:57.9 | He's been featured on America's Most Wanted, but still to this day, he has never been found again. |
| 1:04.3 | Another example would be when Robert Minnick and James Dice broke out of Mississippi's Clark County Jail only to then kill two people in their |
| 1:13.1 | homes before fleeing to Mexico. It seemed there was a huge fault in the facilities meant to lock up |
| 1:19.2 | dangerous people and keep the public safe. But it never garnered that much attention. In fact, |
| 1:25.9 | it wasn't until when two men in Florida escaped and killed a |
| 1:29.4 | park ranger inside of a National Park that people began to fight for change. |
| 1:38.1 | Welcome to National Park After Dark. |
| 2:08.2 | Music after dark. Okay, I'm so intrigued by this because one of my favorite shows when it was out and about was prison break. |
| 2:14.6 | I still have to watch that. I haven't seen it. It's a good one. I think it kind of dragged on a little too long. |
| 2:18.7 | Slightly too long. Like too many seasons. It's like, okay, this was really good. |
| 2:22.4 | And I will finish it because I've committed so much of my life to this show. |
| 2:23.8 | But I could have ended up. I'm a loyal fan, but like, come on. |
