There is a large State Prison, in our county, about 10 miles from my house. I passed it coming home from Church yesterday. There were armed guards, with shotguns, posted at every road surrounding the prison, I knew something was up.
My wife called the Goocland Sheriff's office non-emergency number and asked if someone escaped, they told her, "We cant give out that information, but you can call the State Correctional Facility".
My wife called the number that was given to her, and got a recording with no useful information.
Later in the day, deputies blocked a road near our house.
Only when we watched the news this morning, did we find anything out:
Two prisoners escape Goochland facility | Richmond Times-Dispatch
My wife knows our Sheriff and is going to give him an earful, I know we have folks here that work in corrections.
Is this normal procedure, Is there usually a source given to the public for current escapee information?
