   School shooter T.J. Lane and two other inmates darted for   
   freedom through a soybean field after fashioning a ladder from   
   raw materials.   
      
   The trio spent months plotting their escape from Allen Oakwood   
   Correctional Institution by crafting the ladder out of old wood   
   cabinets, but the Sept. 11 attempt eventually proved futile,   
   according to a report released by the Ohio Department of   
   Rehabilitation & Correction.   
      
   Lane, Clifford Opperud and Lindsey Bruce are shown in   
   surveillance footage during the dusk escape, wearing dark blue   
   prison-issued clothing. The cameras show the inmates fleeing   
   north of the prison in sight of people walking on the   
   correctional facility’s campus.   
      
   The inmates ran together for a short period of time, but had   
   spread out. The security camera eventually lost track of the   
   third suspect as it zoomed in, but it’s not clear which inmates   
   are which in the footage.   
      
   The escape had been difficult to capture on security footage   
   because another camera in that area had been broken after being   
   struck by lightning.   
      
   The prisoners had crawled through a maintenance area, broke a   
   padlock and scaled an administrative building, the report   
   detailed. Their 15-foot jump off the building alerted   
   correctional guards of their escape.   
      
   Lane is serving a life sentence without parole after shooting   
   three students to death at Chardon High School in Feb. 2012.   
      
   He pleaded guilty to slaying his classmates and said, “F--- all   
   of you,” to the victims’ families during the hearing.   
      
   An overnight search by Ohio State Highway Patrol found Lane at   
   1:20 a.m. hiding only a short distance from the prison in the   
   nearby woods. The 20-year-old was the second of the three   
   escapees to be found in the failed escape.   
      
   The video released by the state shows Bruce being apprehended by   
   a flurry of authorities at 7:47 p.m., only nine minutes after   
   the escape.   
      
   Troopers later found Olerud at 4:22 a.m. hiding under a boat at   
   a private home.   
      
   In response to the escape, the facility has updated its security   
   by replacing locks, installed barbed wire fencing on the top of   
   its administrative building and blocked off its maintenance area   
   to inmates.   
      
   The facility’s Warden and Deputy Warden have also been demoted   
   and reassigned to other positions within the agency, the report   
   also states.
