Bond said White apparently "shimmied" through the bars of his cell, and then used blankets to safely climb over a barbed wire fence.
"It appears he took his body and slipped through the bars of the cell," Bond said.
Bond said the bars in the cell were approximately four and a half inches apart.
"I still can't picture that," he said of the escape. "It's beyond my imagination to know how he succeeded in that."
