Negligence often causes huge losses. How did the negligence of the prison officers prove to be a boon for Evans? |
|
Answer» Many instances of negligence on the part of the prison officers contributed to Evans escape. First lapse on the part of the police and prison authorities was regarding Mr McLeery. He was to invigilate. They didn’t verify his identity. A fake McLeery impersonated the real McLeery. Secondly, Jackson’s compassion allowed Evans to wear his hat. It was a big lapse on his part. Then again Stephens didn’t report another significant irregularity to the authorities. Evans was allowed to wrap a grey blanket around him. Similarly, the authorities never knew that the German teacher was none other than a close friend of Evans. The last but the most glaring lapse was on the part of the governor himself. The silent prison officer who handcuffed the recaptured was actually Evans’s accomplice. So were the two men who accompanied them. The governor was outwitted again. |
