Jails are different from prisons.
New York State prison break.
How did the escaped convicts know about the cabin?
They didn't. They nearly got caught. They are making their rules up as they go.
There was a bloody sock in the cabin, right? I still say they are having PR problems with bears. There is nothing easier to track than a sweaty man hiking hopelessly through the woods. Bears have great olfactory capacity.
Looking at a black bear's head, (click here) it's obvious that they have a very large nose. The area inside a black bear's nose, called the nasal mucosa, is 100 times greater than ours. This large nose results in an excellent sense of smell! Even bloodhounds, dogs so famous for their sense of smell that they're used to track missing people, don't smell as well a black bear. It is estimated that black bears' sense of smell is about seven times greater than a bloodhound's.
Honestly, between blood hounds and bears, these guys don't stand a chance. One might pay attention to the ears, too.
The animals will drive them. Eventually, authorities will find them.
It is not unusual for prisons, especially maximum security prisons, to be build in hostile land. That is part of the design. A town will build up around the prison because there is a chance for making money with traffic, but, isolation from society is taken into consideration for just this reason alone.
