Jailbreak: Love on the Run

Well no pun intended - you know the saying about who falls in love - or is it the song? I know Elvis sang about it. But while you could add Jailhouse Rock (to round up what the documentary also entails), let's dive into what this is about - although I reckon I made it clear.

So depending on your sensibilities and what you personally believe (morals may have to take a backseat) ... we get to see an unusual love story. I am not sure what the whole bad boy charm is though one could argue it may not apply 100% in this case. Well some women seem to want "rescue" men ... they see the good in them. Anyway this is another case of that, but since its a documentary you get to learn the "real" persons behind it all ... well done, researched and edited.

I would not believe that this could actually happen in the prison system but here you have it. Vicky White, who has a senior position at the jail, falls in love with Casey White, a dangerous offender who is looking at 75 years imprisonment and has now confessed to another murder.

This woman is obviously lonely and vulnerable as she gets taken in by her prisoner because he tells her that she has a nice butt. From there, they begin an intimate relationship in the prison; it's astounding to me that they are never caught. It seems like the other prisoners in this overcrowded cell are aware of what's going on, but the staff are completely ignorant to it.

This love she has for her Casey will cost her dearly.

I'm perplexed as to why women guards are even in the male prison system. It does seem dangerous, especially if some of the prisoners are violent and require maximum security.

Interesting story that almost seems to outrageous to be true and I'm sorry that the ending turned out the way it did. Glad that Netflix didn't drag this out and make it into a limited series.

I recommend.

Staff at a corrections facility are shocked to learn that their colleague, Vicky White, a stalwart of the facility has fallen in love with an inmate, Casey White, and helped him to escape.

What an absolutely crazy story, talk about an unexpected love story. It's a very well made, intriguing storyline, well made, interesting and surprising, with some fascinating interviews.

I had a feeling it would have a tragic ending, and it really does, what a way for this story to end, a tragedy.

It doesn't seem as though Casey was a particularly good guy, he wouldn't have ended up where he did I guess, but what on Earth was Vicky thinking, what a crazy risk to take. One thing that seems obvious, they fell for eachother.

One question I came away with, is nobody monitoring those phone calls inside the prison? Surely someone would have clocked the sheer volume of calls?

7/10.

I gave the movie 6 stars because of its investigation into events, the interviews with people related to it, and the integration of film from the events themselves. As far as the "story" goes, there was little if anything good I could say about it. Painting Ms. White as a "victim of love" took any credibility from the documentary itself. Painting Mr, White, a manipulative criminal as someone who may have sincerely "loved" Ms. White was equally ridiculous. In short, these two were a criminal who was completely amoral and lacking any conscience, and someone so wrapped up in herself she violated the law and endangered society by assisting a monster escape back into society.

The only regret is that only one of them died.

I don't know who's bright idea it was to garnish this alleged documentary with every sex-phone-call these two idiots engaged in, but it really shameful towards the director and Netflix for publishing this garbage.

I'm not a prude, but this tasteless trash is hardly entertaining and a sure waste of the money they invested into making it. Honestly, the director of this should be barred from ever making another documentary for his/her entire life. They honestly don't understand the medium.

I love crime dramas, and was really set to sit down and enjoy this. After 40 minutes I'd had enough and turned it off. I found better retellings of this story done by amateurs on YouTube. Save your time.... watch something else.
