Catherine Madison Prison Experience, Razor Wire Obstacles

Catherine Madison details the use of "Constantine" or razor wire around the Mount Carmel windows, which she claims made escape impossible. After surviving the fire, she was imprisoned and faced charges of murder and conspiracy, which were eventually dropped. Madison notes the irony of being sent to Gatesville prison in a white outfit, which allowed her to avoid the orange uniforms typically associated with the Davidians in Waco.
