Schmid Captured in Tucson After Arizona Prison Break
Schmid and Hudgens fled Florence Correctional Center last Saturday. Schmid, dubbed the Pied Piper of Tucson, appeared exhausted and wary in custody amid allegations of kidnapping charges and possible return to the state prison. Hudgens remains at large, suspected in a Mesa robbery, with $125 stolen. Inquiries are underway into security lapses as Gov. Williams orders an official probe and directs corrections officials to tighten controls after a prior breakout.

Courts share blame in prison escapes, says Arizona official
Arizona corrections chief Allen Cook argues courts share responsibility for escapes after Charles Schmid and Raymond Hudgens fled Florence prison. He cites Supreme Court death penalty bans and federal rulings moving inmates off death row, plus calls for improved training and new security facilities to reduce escapes. Schmid previously escaped a month earlier then succeeded, with two inmates previously slipping out over a decade. The discussion notes shifts in inmate housing and the need for better prisoner classification and rehabilitation programs.
