Product Description
In Takeover I tell the true story of an attempt by three inmates to break out of the Clark County Jail in Las Vegas, Nevada in August 1979. When the escape failed, the incident turned into a hostage situation, with the convicts in control of the jail and holding three correction officers prisoner. Before it was over, two inmates were dead and one officer was wounded.
