Sentenced to life in prison on Valentine’s Day in 2022, Johnson managed to escape from Mississippi’s newest state prison in Greene County nearly three years later on Christmas Eve, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

 

Authorities in Mississippi had described Johnson as “desperate” and “very very dangerous.”

This poor man, hopefully he is asked why he escaped,there may be personal reasons 

Sounds like a very safe jailhouse, especially for being new. I guess they cut corners or staff. 

Could have hid out in Pattaya, fit right in.

He'd have to shave his head first and put on 30 kilos.
