Year later, questions linger in daring jailbreak

The escape of two dangerous inmates from the District of Columbia Jail last June raised disturbing questions about incompetence and corruption in an agency assigned to protect the public from criminals. One year later, those questions remain unanswered.

“To this day, I don’t know who did it, how it happened, or why,” said Neil Glick, the advisory neighborhood commissioner for the Hill East neighborhood that borders the jail. “I don’t remember seeing a letter from any city agency explaining what’s been done to protect the neighborhood.”
