.well well before he could kill anyone else. At the very least they would've gotten him out of Philadelphia into another institution with 24 hr surveillance inside his cell.
This is up there with the Fast Furious movies in terms of absurdness. Even on par with Rambo 3. Or Rocky 4. But still like those - wildly entertaining. -

I'm guessing he was good at legal matters(had 10 years to practice) and could challenge such a move. In the film the DA's office admits that 24 hour surveillance would be in breach of his constitutional rights.
Of course the movie is far fetched. But Clyde was meant to be this super agent who cultivated the plan for a decade. -

I know its just a movie and I'm not picking at it or even questioning its' reality, this thread just made me think of a series that was on History or Discovery or one of those channels that has recaptured inmates telling their escape stories (shown through dramatizations with actors interspersed with interviews with people involved like people who worked at the jail, investigators, accomplices, etc.).
Anyways,
There was one guy in solitary confinement where every cell had a camera. The camera was above the toilet but looking out into the cell (so you couldn't see the guy on the toilet.) The toilet was in the corner of the room. Somehow the guy managed to get something to cut a hole in the ceiling (smuggled in in the spine of a book or something). He would stand on the toilet, just out of sight of the camera, cutting at the ceiling. He camouflaged the cut mark with toothpaste. If he was up there too long, the guard watching the camera feeds would use an intercom to call his name and he would slink down to the toilet and wave his arm so he could see he was there and make it look like he was just dropping a deuce.
He got up there in the ceiling (crawl space with pipes and stuff), crawled to a vent and shimmied down on bed sheets or something. Had a girl he met through some kind of pen pal thing duped into picking him up (he told her he was getting out legally - she didn't know he was actually escaping until she, in the parking lot, saw him shimmying down the wall). I think he was captured the next morning in a hotel room. Girl got probation.
Point is, "constitutional rights" or not, in real life there's at least one jail that has cameras in the solitary confinement cells which are monitored 24/7.
