As Ohio prisons battled 'Shawshank'-style violence in the '60s and '70s, a killer slipped away.
This report is part of the ABC News podcast,"Have You Seen This Man?," hosted by 'The View's' Sunny Hostin. The podcast follows the U.S. Marshals' ongoing mission to find Lester Eubanks, a dangerous convict who escaped from police custody in 1973 and has never been found.
In some ways, the"Shawshank" story serves as a fitting backdrop for the events that led up to Eubanks’ escape, which has recently made him a top 15 most wanted fugitive -- a manhunt that is now the focus of the ABC News podcast,"Have You Seen This Man." Michael Humphrey served time there for theft in the late 1960s, during the same period Eubanks was incarcerated in Columbus.
"In 1972, there were two guys that were feuding," Humphrey recalled."One was a barber and the other guy was forced to sit down in his chair. [The barber] sharpened up his straight razor and cut the man’s throat, and he bled out on the floor.""We had a young kid that was here and he couldn't, for whatever reason, he just couldn't take it," he remembered.
Looking back to the early 20th century, Carson said inmates would"get a bible," be placed in solitary conditions"and read until you repent." "I think that most of the decisions that were made were good," Carson said."Occasionally, some individuals made up their mind to further their criminal activity. You know, and I wish I had some way to say which person is gonna be the best inmate and which one is not going to be the best inmate, but I don't."
