Jailbreak: Love on the Run

On April 29, 2022, Vicky took Casey out of his cell to transport him to the nearby courthouse. Or, rather, that's what she claimed she was doing; instead, she and Casey got into her vehicle and vanished. By the time her fellow corrections officers realized what was going on, the duo was long gone. This was stunning to everyone, including Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office investigator Sgt. Matt Burbank, who had known Vicky for years and, like everyone else, immediately feared she might be in danger. However, upon finding her abandoned car and searching her home, he quickly deduced that she wasn't a victim but an accomplice. Before long, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton was appearing on television to spread the word about this crime to the public, all as a U. S. Marshals team led by commander Chad Hunt initiated an urgent manhunt.

Well no pun intended - you know the saying about who falls in love - or is it the song? I know Elvis sang about it. But while you could add Jailhouse Rock (to round up what the documentary also entails), let's dive into what this is about - although I reckon I made it clear.

So depending on your sensibilities and what you personally believe (morals may have to take a backseat) ... we get to see an unusual love story. I am not sure what the whole bad boy charm is though one could argue it may not apply 100% in this case. Well some women seem to want "rescue" men ... they see the good in them. Anyway this is another case of that, but since its a documentary you get to learn the "real" persons behind it all ... well done, researched and edited.

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.

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.
