During Ronald Ryan and Peter Walker's escape from Pentridge Prison in December 1965, warder George Hodson was shot dead. Several days later, Nine News reporter Tom Jones took to the streets to interview locals about the presence of the prison in their suburb.
This clip is from a film compilation of Channel Nine News footage on Ronald Ryan held in the NFSA television collection.
