  • Despite knowing the fact that Evans was always breaking out of jail, the prison authorities still made many mistakes.
  • The following were the mistakes committed by them:
  •  The validity of the German tutor not checked. 
  • Evans allowed to sit for an exam knowing he wasn’t academically inclined and not checking whether he had learnt 10 | P a g e any German at all. 
  • Letting Evans see the name of the invigilator on the form.
  • Not taking more precautions in verifying the invigilator’s identity despite knowing Evans knew his name. 
  • Letting Evans wear the cap for good luck.
  • Allowing McLeery to take the rubber tube inside.
  • Not going into the cell despite seeing that Evans was just sitting there not writing at all. 
  • Not verifying the Governor’s phone call.
  • Despite seeing that McLeery looked slimmer while going out, not checking him.
  • Appointing Stephens, a new guard, to guard Evans. 
  • Allowing Stephens to move out of the cell when Evans protested.
  • Letting Evans  know that the cell was bugged.
  • Letting the Examination Board phone call go through without verifying its authenticity. 
  • Letting Evans put on a blanket over his shoulders 
  • Believing Evans had left the correction paper behind by mistake and believing the information in it.
  • Calling for the police, not the ambulance.
  • Letting Evans escape a second time in a van without verifying the guards 
  • Everyone just accepting Stephens’ belief that the man in the cell was McLeery as he was bleeding and did not check his wounds.
  • Getting fooled by Evans pretending to be McLeery although everyone knew Evans was a good mimic.
