Unit 9, page 153, exercise 7, listening.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,600
Good afternoon.

3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,500
Here is a bulletin from the Mason County Sheriff's Office.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,720
Charles Gallagher and two other inmates are reported to have escaped

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,680
from the maximum security prison in Grandview.

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,220
Listeners may recall that two years ago, Gallagher was sentenced to serve 10 years

7
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:32,120
with the opportunity to earn a reduced sentence in return for good behavior.

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,100
The three prisoners are thought to have escaped in a prison laundry truck.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,660
Authorities are not saying how the breakout could have taken place,

10
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,560
but according to usually reliable sources,

11
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,700
the three men are believed to have been helped in their escape by a prison employee.

12
00:00:50,260 --> 00:00:55,260
Our sources inform us that a new state-of-the-art security system

13
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:57,200
could have prevented their escape.

14
00:00:57,820 --> 00:01:01,660
The system was supposed to have been installed two months ago,

15
00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:07,960
but because of procrastination on the part of prison officials, it is not yet in place.

16
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:13,260
Listeners should be aware that the three prisoners are thought to have weapons

17
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:17,060
and are believed to be heading in the direction of Union City.

18
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:21,000
Listeners are warned not to approach the prisoners.

19
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:26,740
They are asked to contact the Sheriff's Office by calling this toll-free number,

20
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:34,180
1-800-555-9999, if they have any information.
