Dangerous Escaped Convicts Are On The Loose In Arizona!

I'm honestly not sure when humanity came up with the idea of "prison", but we're better off for it. As opposed to just executing or banishing everyone we don't want in our society, we now have a place to put them, and (hopefully) rehabilitate them.

Unfortunately, this isn't like Superman's "Phantom Zone", it's a finite building with flaws like all the rest, which is how we end up with escaped convicts.

Prison Break in Arizona

On Saturday, November 7th the unthinkable happened. At around 8 p.m. that night, six incarcerated convicts escaped their confines and made their way to the wide open world.

This took place in Whiteriver, a small town in Navajo County just 135 miles southeast of Flagstaff. The White Mountain Apache Tribe Police has refused to reveal details, such as how they escaped, if they worked together, and what they were initially incarcerated for.

Did the Escaped Convicts Get Found?

Luckily, it didn't take long to track the ne'er-do-wells down. The escape took place at 8 p.m., and by 10:30 p.m. three had returned back to custody. Within a few more hours, two more were put back behind bars.

If you do some simple addition, you might be nervous, because that only adds up to five, and six went missing. The last convict of that group is still at large, but local police are on the case. They are currently in contact with the convict's family and friends in an attempt to track them down.

If you see or hear anything concerning this, contact your local authorities.
