Wilhunt I have one of those days just about everytime I hit the woods at some point but the publics safety doesnt depend on my dogs.I was also working an escape at the Stiles Unit in Beaumont when 3 inmates busted out,the dogs were put on the track 10 minutes after they hit the fence and the dogs couldnt pick up the track,I think it was 2 weeks later the inmates were picked up within 4 miles of the unit wondering the streets.Luckily these guys werent violent offenders because they were just roaming the streets of Nederland.Listen I know all dogs have there bad days but I have never seen those dogs have a good day,I always payed close attention anytime they were working the dogs and I was really amazed at just how bad they were.I never saw one actually run a track the inmates had laid down.Garza East and West,Conally,Darrington, Stiles and Hightower and all the dogs at these units couldnt do the job.I would like to think that at some of the units thats not the case.Just telling it the way I saw it!!!!The inmate that escaped from Hightower was on Stiles when I got there,I asked him if he was scared of the dogs while he was in the brush and he said he was until they ran right passed him and hit the road behind the unit.Good thing for us during that escape that we all had shotguns because these dogs were trying to chew us up once they hit the road.And no we didnt shoot the dogs,we just popped them with the barrel a little!!!
Interesting about Graza isnt it, joins us and its where they have had 4 over the wire and no catches, up at Conally the Texas 7 escaped, do you see a pattern here, whats Bull got to gain and myself from pointing out the obious??? The state produces a flawed product, if it was a good product the prison system would be supplying drug detection dogs, escapee trailing dogs to every law enforecment state agency, they dont, they have to send off to Germany to purchase dogs while millions of Taxpayers money is wasted on a proven failed system the state prison dog program, the Houston Chroncile pointed this out as well, with all of the time and effort and money every weight station, every dot officer, every dps ought to have a dog trained by the prison sytem, but they dont, why is this?? Its the usual with attack the messanger, dont look now but a criminal is hopping the wire while you are online at work bragging about the texas prison system dog systemLOL You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time!!!
