I guess they heard the death penalty was banned in NJ and decided hey why not make a break for it? What's the worst they are going to do to me?

On a side note the reason Paris is with us is to remind us there are those out there who are not blessed with beauty. . . *shudders and grabs some Noxema*

If making a hole and slipping out is "old school", what would constitute the "hip" way to break out of prison? Does it involve cement busting L4Z0Rs, the clever hiding of mobiles in every available orifice, and maybe also extremely shaky hand-camera? We all know Paris would possibly just strangle the wardens with her thong, but she is hardly a professional prison hipster.

And theres me thinking Prison Break was off hiatus. haha

Im suprised cons could get away using well-known tactics taken straight from 'Escape from Alcatraz' and 'The Shawshank Redeption'.

Surely these dramatised escapes are supposed to be fictional, and not actually possible?!?

All we need now is My Cousin Vinny, and we're set!!

I rubbed my hands together until they were 'saw', used the saw to cut the bed in half. Two halves make a 'hole', which I climbed out through. Then I shouted until I was 'horse' and rode away on my trusty steed.

...because it's Christmas I'm not even sorry about this post...

...they're meant to stick the cement blocks together - not stack 'em like building blocks.

Cast cement walls are better for this application - kinda harder to take apart (especially if you insert rebar)

Erm, possibly because that would cut down the work of the inmates in figuring out which wall to break through :-)

"For the record, 32-year-old Blunt was "awaiting trial on charges of robbery and weapons offenses", while alleged gang member Espinosa was "awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to manslaughter in a 2005 drive-by shooting". ®"

So none of these guys were longtime inmates who could have been working on these rocks for years like in "Shankshaw redemption".

Points to some pretty shoddy workmanship on the prison buildings.

Also makes you wonder why the rest of the inmates haven't dug their way out of there a long time ago.

But perhaps they have - only they used cleverly designed animated dolls to cover their tracks whereas these newcommers only had time to order the cheap dolls for their beds.

If my memory is still working, I remember an episode of Duke Nukem 3D that featured a prison, in which one of the cells had a tunnel behind a poster of bikini clad girl.

Thanks for the tip. Never could find the way out. Now all I need is to find the install disk again...

Where's the Paris angle?

So, what did the pin-ups look like? Probably more pleasant to look at than the felons.

Are dummies standard issue for prisoners now?

so far all the comments seem to have forgottenn the most important issue in this story....

where's the link to the bikini-clad pin-ups?

so they are going to ban pictures on the walls, but how about the dummies

i say stop giving prisoners dummies or you are asking for trouble!! didn't anyone think it was suspicious that they had a couple of dummies in the first place?

The hell did they scale a 25ft wall???

Ok, so they covered the holes with pin ups.. what about THE OTHER SIDE??? Did nobody notice the sodding great gaping holes in the outside wall??

And as already pointed out, that would have been them outside the building but how did they get over the outside wall? Helicopter? Jetpac? Mario style double jump?

Man, it looks like Jose there is carrying smallpox to the masses... And me here thinking it had been eradicated.

if they managed to dupe the whole prison security system, i reckon they well deserve to get away. also, my judgement is biased after recently watching 3 seasons of OZ.

How do you manslaughter somebody in a drive-by shooting?

...only in America. And I'm there right now, (America, not the prison... obviously.)
