At 7:00 PM last evening there was an attempted prison break here in Shelby, Montana.
In that apparent escape attempt, one Shelby prisoner was killed. It is not clear whether any other prisoners were involved but with well over 600 inmates in the half finished prison anything could be possible. The inmate that was killed, was attempting to get through the two high fences and became electrocuted inside those fences. It then took nearly two hours to free the prisoners body from the electric wires. We at NBMC have not yet been able to find out if the prisoner was Male or Female.
Shelby has a large population of Federal prisoners as well as Montana and local inmates. The prison first opened in 1999 with about 525 inmates mostly from Montana.
