The exodus has created a shortage of inmates at Florida's 36 road-gang camps, forcing officials to man the camps with unreliable prisoners who had previously been confined in regular cells. As a result, the post-Gideon escape rate per 1,000 prisoners has jumped in Florida's road prisons. In March, a low-escape month, the rate has almost doubled, from...
