Outsmarting the Outcasts: How Prisons Evolved to Prevent the Next Great Escape
This episode examines how correctional facility design, security protocols, and inmate management strategies have evolved in response to the most notorious prison escapes in history. We'll explore how the lessons learned from breakouts like those at Alcatraz and in Kentucky led to the development of new architectural features, surveillance technologies, and staff training programs aimed at closing security gaps. We'll also hear from experts in criminal justice, psychology, and engineering about the ongoing challenge of staying one step ahead of determined and ingenious inmates. This episode will provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the complex, multifaceted approach modern prisons take to deter and thwart escape attempts.
