Inside Job: Understanding Vicky White

On this edition of In Focus, Carolyn Hutcheson interviews Ann Kenda about the making of "Inside Job: Understanding Vicky White." 

In this final episode, we look at the systemic issues that prison guards deal with and their portrayal in media.
 

In early May 2022, Vicky White and Casey White were camped out in a cheap hotel room in Evansville, ordering pizza in and trying not to call attention to themselves. But authorities were closing in, and the 11-day chase was about to reach its conclusion.

Vicky and Casey White hide out from authorities in a place they believe is safe, and we explore how hard it is to work as a prison guard. 

The hunt for Vicky and Casey White continues. Lt. Gary Cornelius provides insights into what the relationship between guards and inmates should be and where it can go wrong.

Vicky Sue White and Casey Cole White were not related, despite having the same last name. 
Vicky was 18 years and one day older than Casey. And they were no one’s idea of a perfectly matched couple. 
On April 29th, Vicky helped Casey, a convict serving 75 years for a crime spree in 2015, escape.  
Vicky, was a highly respected Assistant Director of Corrections. She had put in 25 years with the department and was hours away from a comfortable retirement. Her colleagues loved her. Why then, would someone who had everything to lose, throw it all away?
