Whoops.

The man who oversees Texas’ criminal justice system called Wednesday for a shake-up as authorities searched for a prisoner in a wheelchair who escaped on foot Monday from two armed guards as he was being transferred between prisons.

‘I just think enough’s enough,’ said state Sen. John Whitmire, a Democrat from Houston who is chairman of the state Senate’s Criminal Justice Committee.

‘We need a complete shake-up of the leadership of our prison system and/or an outside review by third parties,’ he said of the escape of Arcade Comeaux Jr., 49. ‘We just can’t have security breaches of this nature.’

    Oh, they’ll just make up for it by executing more mentally handicapped prisoners.

    I love the quote where the authorities theorize that maybe the escapee contrived the whole episode (faking being paralyzed I guess).

    Ya think?
