Looks good! I have seen two films that Crane Wilbur directed and four other films that he wrote, but didn't direct.

The film was shot almost entirely on location at the site of the Canon City state penitentiary.

I couldn't tell from the film, but I looked it up and he was recaptured. Here is a link to the real guy after being recaptured:
