KBI releases escape report
Seven inmates who escaped Sept. 6 from the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing say their escape was made possible by lax conditions and the prison, a Kansas Bureau of Investigation report syas.
Gov. John Carlin released a synopsis of the report yesterday morning at a Television news conference.
THE REPORT said that with help from other inmates, the fugitives were able to obtain a prison guard's uniform, study the routine of the guards and officials during shift changes and learn how to use the prison telephone system.
A call was made to one of the tower guards, Nathan Vanderslice, by another inmate posing as a guard captain. The inmate screamed and called for emergency telephone call and that another guard was being sent to relieve him, the report said.
Carlin said yesterday that a new procedure had already begun, requiring guards who received telephone calls indicating that they were to be released to call the captain's office to verify the call.
WHILE THE IMPOSTER climbed the ladder, Vanderslice received another, unrelated call and did not see the disguised inmate enter the room. The prison officer also pointed his gun from the guard room and pointed it at Vanderslice after he hung up.
After the call, Vanderslice saw what he believed to be the relief guard approaching the tower. Vanderslice lowered the keys to him.
Vanderslice was forced from the
The synopsis reported that the "escapees all claim they did not receive any assistance from the guard" (as it appears in another not in complicity with them in any way).
Carlin said that the tower used in the escape had been the only one accessible to the prisoners and that a fence separating the tower from the inmates construction at the time of the escape. The fence has not been completed.
tower and tied with a piece of electrical cord. The inmates took several other weapons and then made their way over to the tower. They then split into two groups.
"The first contacts with the Leavenworth County sheriff's office merely advised of a problem at the police station, and mentioned the escape," the report said.
"There's no question that escape would not have occurred if the fence had been complete," Carlin said.
AFTER THE escape alarm was sounded, the report said, there appeared to be some confusion among the prison officials.
Carlin said that he would ask for an emergency supplemental appropriation from lawmakers to set up a security telephone system at Lansing.
"Certainly a lot of the blame has to go to the facility itself," Carlin said.
