Inmate attempts escape at Springfield prison

Vermont State Police On 8-24-22 Correctional Officers working at Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield VT observed an inmate climbing a fence / gate within the facility, and slipping between the top of the gate and the razor wire. This inmate was identified as Dustin Deberville and he was taken into custody by staff members moments after staff first observed his actions. When taken into custody, Deberville was still on facility grounds with 2 more fences that he would have needed to pass in order to completely exit the facility grounds.

A subsequent investigation conducted by staff members, coupled with their observations of Deberville, indicated that he planned this escape attempt himself, and was in possession of a small amount of supplies.
