Shackled but Dangerous: The DeKalb County Prisoner Break

True Crime

About this episode

For Deputy Leland Chandler, it was a routine prisoner transport. For the three inmates shackled in his van, it was a moment of opportunity. On the road to a court hearing in Fort Payne, Alabama, the situation exploded into a harrowing flight from justice. This is the story of how the prisoners, despite being restrained, turned the tables, orchestrating a dangerous escape that involved a terrifying carjacking at gunpoint. Follow the intense manhunt as local and federal law enforcement scramble to track the fugitives, piecing together their bold plan and racing to apprehend the desperate men before their flight turned even more deadly.
