TLC - tonight frorm 9-11 pm "Escape from Death Row" - about Virginia's Mecklenberg Correctional Center.

Thanks Ill watch, has anyone actual ecaped from death row? Ive heard people being set free from DNA evidence. But not breaking out

i know that an attempt to escape was made by 4 death row inmates in cali in 2000,it failed because someone told on them.mi

latinastar, Is this the show where one of the guys is caught a mile from the Canada border? I think I've seen this and if I have I highly reccomend it! It's amazing how they did it... really smart.

Virginia's Mecklenburg Correctional Center on May 31, 1984. Six =
