abolitionists are too afraid to mention how dangerous it is for them to keep
their violent criminals alive. Please read Thomas Sowell’s quote and read the

Sept 24 (Reuters) - Authorities were searching on Monday for a convicted murderer who escaped from a Mississippi prison after breaking into a prison employee's house and stealing two guns and a truck, a corrections spokeswoman said.
Michael Dowda, 48, was discovered missing from the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman on Saturday, corrections officials said. He had been on a maintenance work detail and was last seen wearing state-issued green and white striped pants and a white prison shirt.
Dowda, who is serving a life sentence for a 1998 murder conviction, is considered armed and dangerous. Before fleeing, he broke into a safe inside a house on the prison grounds and took two handguns, a department statement said.
Officials said he was believed to be driving a white truck that he also stole from the corrections employee's home.
Corrections
spokeswoman Tara Booth said authorities were still investigating how Dowda
engineered the breakout.
According to local media, Dowda was found guilty in the November 1996 shooting death of his girlfriend.

1 staffer killed, another wounded in disturbance at state prison in southeast Colorado
By Associated Press,
CROWLEY,
Colo. — A female kitchen employee was killed and another was seriously injured
Monday in an assault involving an inmate while breakfast was being prepared at
a state prison in southeast Colorado, a spokeswoman said.
The
inmate was subdued, and the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Crowley
was put on lockdown, said Alison Morgan, a spokeswoman for the Colorado
Department of Corrections. The prison 45 miles east of Pueblo houses about
1,000 male prisoners.
The
names of the victims and inmate weren’t immediately released. The wounded
employee was listed in critical condition late Monday at a hospital in Pueblo,
Morgan said.
The
Colorado Office of Inspector General and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation
were investigating, The Pueblo Chieftain reported. Morgan said interviews were
ongoing, and it would be premature to provide details of the attack.
Gov.
John Hickenlooper traveled to Crowley to visit with the prison staff Monday. He
issued a statement saying state officials were “doing all we can to support the
families and employees impacted by this incident.”
Many
state prisons were locked down Monday so staff could support the Arkansas
Valley facility. Food was being delivered from other state prisons.
In
1989, the Arkansas Valley facility gained international notoriety when a
helicopter swooped into the yard and spirited two inmates to freedom. Prison
officials said they could not fire on the aircraft because they couldn’t get a
clear shot. The prisoners were recaptured after they switched to a rental van
and got into a gun battle with authorities in Nebraska.
Over
the past decade, there have several high-profile disturbances at Colorado
prisons.
In
2004, at the privately owned Crowley County Correctional Facility nearby, about
300 inmates ransacked two cell houses and prison offices and set dozens of
fires. Several inmates were injured, including two seriously.
In
Limon, in northeast Colorado, a prisoner was arrested after prison worker Eric
Autobee was beaten to death in 2002 by a convicted child killer wielding a
ladle. State corrections officers blamed staffing cuts because of state
spending limits that forced the state to send more inmates to private prisons.
