A quiet night turned into a statewide crisis when three inmates made a high-risk escape from the DeKalb County Jail. They didn’t slip out. They repelled down from what was essentially the 16th floor of a maximum-security unit. And moves like that don’t happen unless the system is already broken.

We walk through how this escape exposed ignored warning signs, weak leadership, and the kind of jail management failures that put every civilian at risk. From the planning inside the facility to the terrifying kidnapping that ended in Miami, this breakdown follows the path of a system that saw the danger too late.

When institutions fail, the public pays the price and the question now is how many more escapes it will take before someone fixes it.
