Describe the precautions taken by the prison officers to prevent Evans from escaping. |
|
Answer» As Evans had tried to escape before, the prison authorities had taken all possible precautions for the smooth conduct of the examination. Evans’ cell was thoroughly checked a night before and all sharp-edged objects like razor, nail-file, scissors, etc. were taken away from him. The suitcase of the invigilator, McLeery, was carefully checked before he entered the cell. Also, the Governor had himself decided to supervise the examination by listening in through the microphone connected to Evans’ cell. Prison officer Stephens was deployed to observe Evans from the peephole every minute or so. Another prison officer Mr Jackson was in constant contact with the Governor on the phone. Both the gates of the wings of Evans’ cell were locked tightly. Thus, the authorities left no stone unturned in ensuring the smooth and safe conduct of the examination. |
