With no fence or even locked doors another Killer just walked away from the institution. This is not the first time that someone has just walked away. Dont you think its time for a fence.
Escapes from the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo
The Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo has had several notable escapes over the years, frequently as easy for the inmate as simply walking away.
July, 6, 1996 — Stephen Eugene Armstrong was in a medium-security ward when he opened an unlocked door at the gym and walked off hospital grounds. Four years later, he bashed his brother and sister-in- law in the head with a 2-pound sledgehammer, nearly killing both of them.
Dec. 2, 1998 — William Mathews fled the hospital for the fifth time and kidnapped and strangled Wanda Pitts, 18, in Shenandoah, Texas.
Sept. 4, 2004 — Edward Benge, who used gasoline to burn down a Colorado Springs bar and kill a man in March 1990, escaped for the second time. He was caught months later.
March 31, 2007 — Tyrone Jones, committed after inventing a story that a genie commanded him to stab a fellow inmate, escaped for the second time in two years. He was later caught. Jones has been written up more than 20 times for allegedly physically or sexually assaulting patients and selling drugs.
Jan. 28, 2008 — On his sixth escape, Keith Simpson committed at least seven felony offenses over a 3 1/2-week span, including kidnapping, car theft, burglary, assault and attempted murder. In a jail interview in March, he admitted stabbing an elderly woman in the abdomen at a Starbucks on Colorado Boulevard, breaking a steak knife on a disabled veteran's head as he intended to kill him, and breaking into a home planning to hurt or kill the occupants.
