i came home Friday and checked my home phone voice mail. there were two messages (recorded).
the first one was an alert about an escaped county jail inmate-complete with description, date of birth, address last spotted, etc.
the second one was an announcement that the inmate had been captured and returned to the county jail.
has anyone had phone calls like this?
pretty cool, eh?

Sounds like your county has a Reverse 911 system. What you describe is one of the uses for it. IIRC, a lot of Federal Homeland Security money was spent on buying those for counties all over the country.

Sounds like a benefit of living in a small county. I can't fathom this being pulled off in Harris County (population near 4 million). If a prisoner within a 90 mile radius escapes, it is plastered all over the news. And anyway, most of my answering machine messages are some kind of scam such as ads, predatory credit, or bill collectors calling for someone who never lived here. I ought to just throw it out.
