Jailbreak: Love on the Run

I gave the movie 6 stars because of its investigation into events, the interviews with people related to it, and the integration of film from the events themselves. As far as the "story" goes, there was little if anything good I could say about it. Painting Ms. White as a "victim of love" took any credibility from the documentary itself. Painting Mr, White, a manipulative criminal as someone who may have sincerely "loved" Ms. White was equally ridiculous. In short, these two were a criminal who was completely amoral and lacking any conscience, and someone so wrapped up in herself she violated the law and endangered society by assisting a monster escape back into society.

The only regret is that only one of them died.

Love does make you do the weird, wild and unthinkable things. It seems love is not just blind, it numbs your mind too. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. This true story has more excitement and suspense than a fictitious thriller.

How else can you explain a lady officer of a correctional facility getting friendly and falling in love with a much younger inmate who is in prison on a charge of murder. A case of fence eating grass. Worse how can this lady plan to run away with him in order to settle down with him in some remote location.

With years of experience in procedures of the law did she not realize that this escapade would end in their arrest not to speak of the shame it would bring to all concerned ?

The movie keeps you riveted throughout even though the narrative is in an unconventional format with extensive use of CCTV footage with faces blurred. The voice over and the storyline is well done keeping the suspense live.

I would not believe that this could actually happen in the prison system but here you have it. Vicky White, who has a senior position at the jail, falls in love with Casey White, a dangerous offender who is looking at 75 years imprisonment and has now confessed to another murder.

This woman is obviously lonely and vulnerable as she gets taken in by her prisoner because he tells her that she has a nice butt. From there, they begin an intimate relationship in the prison; it's astounding to me that they are never caught. It seems like the other prisoners in this overcrowded cell are aware of what's going on, but the staff are completely ignorant to it.

This love she has for her Casey will cost her dearly.

I'm perplexed as to why women guards are even in the male prison system. It does seem dangerous, especially if some of the prisoners are violent and require maximum security.

Interesting story that almost seems to outrageous to be true and I'm sorry that the ending turned out the way it did. Glad that Netflix didn't drag this out and make it into a limited series.

I recommend.

So, I watched "Jailbreak Love on the Run" and, let me tell you, I'm swimming against the tide here. Vicky? Not exactly a damsel in distress. She knew the ropes and was well aware of the rules she was flouting, which could have landed her in hot water. And Casey? He wasn't just along for the ride. The documentary, in my opinion, didn't lay all the cards on the table. If they had been keeping an eye on things like they should have, this whole caper would have been shut down early. And seriously, who's ever heard of anyone being allowed out of uniform? No way.

Now, let's dive into the behind-the-scenes antics. This could have been stopped so early if people were actually doing their jobs. Red flags were popping up like crazy, and yet, nothing. The documentary made it clear there were some serious management issues. We didn't hear from many perspectives, which makes me wonder if some people kept quiet out of fear of retaliation. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

So, in conclusion, this documentary needed more expansion and less "let's gloss over the juicy bits."

Not an awful documentary but strangely portrays the situation as a Romeo and Juliet meets Bonnie and Clyde love story.

I don't doubt that Vicky White cared deeply for Casey but I can't believe Casey reciprocated her feelings.

Casey White is a manipulator. He found a weakness in Vicky that he used in an attempt to get him out spending the rest of his life in prison. People like him are skilled in finding the most vunerable and know how to play the game.

I think it is a tragedy that Vicky's legacy as a steller employee was completely ruined the instant she gave in to her emotions. She simply should've known better.

Decent documentary.
