From Deseret News archives:
The winners and the losers
• Loser: As if the Uintah Basin wasn't already on edge after two convicted killers escaped from the Daggett County Jail on Sunday, a Vernal man sent law enforcers on a fruitless search when he made a false report that he had seen and talked to the inmates. It's unknown why the 27-year-old man, who has not been named by authorities, inserted himself into this event in this manner. Regardless, what a colossal waste of manpower after a disturbing security lapse at the medium-security jail that enabled two convicted murders to scale a security fence and escape.
• Winner: Under protest by members of Congress and religious organizations, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons is returning religious materials to prison libraries it had ordered removed earlier this summer. The bureau had directed prison chaplains to purge libraries of religious books and materials not on a list of "approved" resources. The agency now plans to modify its program and will return materials removed since June. However, materials that could be radicalizing or incite violence will not be replaced, prison officials said.
