single greatest point of failure” was the failure to secure the gate between the inmate compartment and the officer compartment on the bus, the report says.

The officers violated policy by leaving their assigned handguns in storage boxes throughout the trip rather than wearing them, and by not wearing ballistic vests. Billue’s vest was later found in his personal vehicle. Monica didn’t even have a ballistic vest, and a separate vest that blocks stab wounds was retrieved from his family.

The bus also left Baldwin State Prison before sunrise, despite a policy that says prisoners shouldn’t be transported in the dark unless there’s an emergency and pre-dawn transport is approved by the warden.

When the bus arrived at Hancock State Prison at 5:43 a.m. to pick up additional inmates, both officers exited the bus, leaving the inmates unattended. An inmate can be heard on video telling the other inmates that the lock on the gate between the compartments wasn’t locked. It took Rowe about a minute to get the door open using the implement he’d smuggled aboard, the report says.

Rowe and Dubose went into the officers’ compartment and rifled through the officers’ lunches, returning to the inmate compartment before the guards returned with more inmates at 6:05 a.m. and again failed to lock the gate, the report says.

Dubose removed his uniform shirt about 20 minutes later and he and Rowe began moving toward the front of the bus a short time later. As Rowe began attempting to reopen the security gate, video shows most of the other inmates moving toward the back of the bus, the report says.

Rowe and Dubose got through the gate at about 6:40 a.m., attacked and killed the guards with their own guns within seconds and then carjacked the passing driver, the report says.

Several inmates who were on the bus said Monica was asleep during portions of the trip, but that could not be confirmed by video, the report says.

Dozier said three changes were made immediate following the escape: a trail vehicle was added for every prison transport by June 20; all transportation officers underwent refresher training between June 20 and June 28; and a duty officer was assigned at all facilities to ensure compliance with transport procedures.

Going forward, even more changes will be implemented, he said. They include:
