You must be a rookie. Bows & arrows are no good. SNAKE PITS are the thing to do. Place a snake pit around the perimeter and allow betting on which snake will get him first...of course a cut goes to support the facility.

Or maybe booby traps like land mines placed in numbered grids. People could buy tickets for the grid numbers like a pool or lotto. Of course we would tell the inmates some grid squares don't have no land mines...that would encourage more attempts. Oh, it's Okay to lie in a case like this...wouldn't want to ruin the sporting nature of the profession. <ggg>

States to face early Y2K test on Thursday
Reuters - Posted at 5:20 p.m. PDT Wednesday, June 30, 1999

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The year 2000 won't begin for another six months,
but the state of Kansas has put its Y2K SWAT team on high alert for
Thursday.

Forty-five other states are bracing for Thursday as well. That is the
day that most states begin their fiscal year 2000 -- and it's an early
test of whether months of work to upgrade computer systems and
eliminate Year 2000 computer bugs were successful.
