Yes there have been escapes. I live in Westmore, behind the jail. When it happens, The COPS are everywhere. City, County and State Troopers join in along with the helicopter. They are in every corner and go door to door. It has been at least 20 years since the last escape.

Absolutely! Twice a day actually, when the 40 hour a week prisoners err. I mean Deputies change shifts. G. Gordon Liddy wrote an interesting autobiography, WILL. In it he writes about his time in jail after Watergate, he loves him some C.O.s

Only 1 real escape , breakout. Back in the 80's at the original ADC built in the late 70's a prisoner got a cell door off. I wont get into details of how, he had made a rope of sheets. He and a other prisoner took the door and used it as a battering ram against the "bulletproof" glass on the cell breaking it out,These doors are 2 inches thick and weigh over 100 pounds. As a deputy came by their cell block they panicked one let himself dowm a bit and then dropped about 20 feet, he broke his ankle the other got away without injury and hid nearby, Yes Va. State Police, FFX Co, FFCity PD , Sheriffs, the world of blue responded and the one in the woods was caught rather quickly, the other hid in the back of a pickup near the jail under a toolbox in the bed. He was gone for many hours but his pain was extreme and he moaned and they heard him.

Attempted escape adds 5 years to a prison term. Ad a result the ADC had tool proof bars installed over all the cell windows to prevent this type escape from occuring again.

Years before that a prisoner in the old Court House got away from deputies in the stairway after a scuffle , this building did not have the secure areas that the new Courthouse has to move prisoners from the court to the jail. His crime was serious and he made it outside and ran across the courthouse lawn toward the Rt 236 intercection of 123. A deputy was hot on him and drew his revolver and lined the sights up on him but wisely did not fire as there were bystanders in the background, he was captured a couple days later near his family home.

As far a shooting at a escapee yes Va law allows that but as the deputies will say, "you better know who it is and what there in for". A person convicted of murder or serious violence who poses a threat is one thing, a less serious criminal is another.

There have been a few others who have escaped but they were walkouts, let out as a mistake with there cases , then recaptured soon after.

Summer of 1999,
Both were both later caught,

And, These are from the Washington Post after a short on-line search

Two inmates escaped from the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center in Fairfax City last night, setting off a search aided by dogs and a helicopter, county police said.
The escape was undetected, and the men were not missed until about 10 p.m. during a head count at the jail at 10520 Judicial Dr., police said. They said the men were last seen during a similar count a half-hour before.
Jim Vickery, chief county sheriff's deputy, said he believes that the men, who wore gray sweat pants and white T-shirts, escaped through a hole in the wall of the cell assigned to one of the two. Authorities said the escape was apparently the first from the 900- inmate jail, which opened at the …........

Willie Capers Williams gave every sign that he would try to bust out of the Fairfax County jail. He had tried several times before -- once by bolting from a police cruiser, once by stealing a lab coat and stethoscope.
A memo on the jail's bulletin board noted that Williams was an "extreme escape risk . . . and will do whatever is necessary to get out of jail."
Despite the warning, Williams and another inmate, Todd Hiney, were able to escape Friday. Hiney ripped a stone slab from a table bolted to the cell wall and used it as a battering ram to smash a hole through the concrete wall. Then the two ruffled their bed covers to make it look as if they were sleeping and climbed 23 …

Lars Hanson tried back in 97 but failed. He argued that he couldn't handle the blacks who were mean to him so he tried to escape through the gym.
