Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison
Bobfrankly1 writes "The FBI, IRS, and the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force are helping the US Marshals search for escaped 'Spam King' Edward 'Eddie' Davidson. He apparently jumped in a car with his wife, changed clothes at home, and hasn't been seen since." Update: 07/24 22:20 GMT by T : It seems that Davidson has been found, victim of a murder-suicide which also left two others dead.
Here's the FBI press release.
Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.

This describes the one in Nevada. (I couldn't find the one in CO)
Inmates, who dress in tan shirts and pants, may participate in a work program on Nellis AFB. The inmates typically perform janitorial services, cleaning floors, restrooms, and emptying trash from office buildings around the base. They also perform groundskeeping, and clean the base bowling alley. Each workcenter that uses inmate labor must assign an NCO or officer to monitor and direct the work throughout the day. These monitors receive a card after training (a video and lecture given by the correctional officers). The card authorizes monitors to transport the prisoners with them each morning (most weekdays) to their workcenters. Inmates are not allowed to leave the base to perform work. Inmates often say the work relieves the boredom they would otherwise face at the prison camp. The program saves taxpayers money that would otherwise be spent on contracted services or longer/less productive work hours by military personnel.
And this is about the Women's one in WV:
The camp comprises 105 acres (425,000 mÂ) of rolling hills. While there are no metal fences surrounding the camp, prisoners have schedules and must work. Free time is spent playing volleyball, softball or tennis.
Most of the inmates at FPC Alderson have been convicted of non-violent or white-collar crime. They sleep in bunk beds in dormitories or in cottages.
You're allowed to shoot escaped convicts on sight, right?

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. -- A man, woman and toddler were shot to death and a teenage girl was wounded outside a home near Bennett Thursday in what an investigator called a "horrific" scene. Neighbors told The Denver Post that the man was 'Spam King' Edward "Eddie" Davidson and his family. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said another infant appeared to be unharmed in the shooting.
