Sun Drop

 In that "Jailbreak" documentary, the guy explains that Sun Drop is a soft drink that's "native to north Alabama."

For some reason, that detail added to the story's fascination, for me.

        The way he said, "north Alabama" reminded me of how they say "north Jersey" in The Sopranos.

Also, when former sheriff Blakely said his deputy was "giving chase."

I would just say, "he chased him."

And when he got Casey White into his vehicle and "carried him to the jail."

He means, of course, that he drove Mr. White to the jail.

Saying "carried him" and "giving chase" seem like old-fashioned expressions, to me.  But maybe they're Southern expressions.  Maybe people in Alabama commonly use those phrases.
