Anything that frustrates the corrupt Pennsylvania imprisonment system is just great in my book. I salute Allen D. Marshall, Jr.! He managed to escape from the system in 1973. Much more remarkable, he lived and succeeded on the lam for 32 years! Pennsylvania's "justice" business was miffed that an individual could and did stand up to the system so well. They want to punish him for his escape, or really for the embarrassment he's caused the imprisonment industry. I say give him a pension and a hardy handshake. Mr. Marshall was convicted of manslaughter back in 1969 when he was a young man. It was a much less vindictive and severe age. He was sentenced to a few years, but still too long. He escaped. In those days officials weren't quite as fanaticly neurotic as they are today. An escape wasn't as terrifying to the control-freaks as it is in this severely repressive Republican era. Not until 2005 did cops in Texas (the Saudi Arabia of the West) manage to recapture Mr. Marshall. The poor guy can expect Pennsylvania (the de Sade of America) to persecute him for the rest of his life. As for me, I applaud him. He's my hero!
