A New Opportunity
Thanks to all those negative reports, Walter got assigned to one of the worst jobs that inmates had to do. He was assigned to clean up the roads with a couple of fellow prisoners. It involved rising before the others did, riding a bus, and getting off at Raleigh to pick up litter. This had a part to play in his escape!
The Plotting Begins
Walter said, “It was awful. People would be throwing hamburgers and milkshakes at you. And it was almost winter, so it was starting to get cold.” Even though it was definitely not the best job on the planet, it wound up helping him out. He narrated, “That’s when I started planning and plotting.”
