ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAS???.... More like “attempted escapes” from Florence Prison in Arizona. Keyword would be “attempted ”. Failed attempts due to the efficiency of the Florence Prison staff under the leadership of men like our guest today, Director of Operations with Arizona Department of Corrections, Ernest Trujillo. This is the 2nd time Ernest Trujillo has been a guest on the podcast. Be sure to give a listen to the first podcast where Director Trujillo shares his background and the operating logistics of the Arizona Prison System.

Director Trujillo was invited back as a guest to share some of his personal experiences with escape attempts (some fatal for the prisoner and accomplices), as well as riots involving hundreds of disruptive inmates, brought under control only with use of shotgun rounds, teargas, and rubber bullets.
