"Where am I goin'? I don't know. Where am I headin'? I ain't certain. All I know, Is I am on my way!"

Oklahoma State Penitentiary is on US 69 between nowhere and the Texas border. It's the state's maximum-security prison. There are signs along the highway by the prison that say: "Warning. Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Convicts." Were they really having problems with escapees standing in front of the prison trying to hitch a ride? If the key element in your escape plan is your thumb, quite frankly, you are probably better off behind bars.
