Classic jail-break...

Woman caught trying to sneak partner out of jail...in a suitcase
5th July 2011

According to Hollywood, a successful prison breakout usually involves a certain amount of tunnelling and climbing. But for inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina, his very own 'great escape' ended pretty abruptly after he was caught trying to sneak of a Mexican prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.

A spokesman for police in the state of Quintana Roo says staff at the prison in Chetumal noticed that 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona seemed nervous and was pulling a black, wheeled suitcase that looked bulky. Spokesman Gerardo Campos said Monday that prison guards checked the bag and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside in the fetal position.

Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession. Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.

Hope he was worth the jail time she may get as well

Paraguayan police watch prison guard Miguel Barrios emerge onto a pavement after inspecting a tunnel that was dug by inmates of the Tacumbu high security prison in Asuncion. Guards discovered the 8-metre-long (26 feet) tunnel that connects a wing of the jail with the outside, preventing an attempt by as many as 50 prisoners to escape from the country's highest security penitentiary, a police spokesman told the media.

Escaped Prisoner Disguised as Old Man Caught in Chicago
5th January 2013

A bank robber who broke out of downtown Chicago's federal jail in an "old man" disguise has been recaptured. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, 38-year-old Kenneth Conley was arrested Friday while dressed as an elderly man wearing "sunglasses, a beret, an overcoat" and hobbling with "a cane."

A New Zealand report on the story elaborates: Conley escaped from a high-rise lockup December 18, along with cellmate and fellow bank robber Joseph ‘‘José'' Banks, apparently by smashing a hole in a narrow cell window and climbing down 20 [stories] using a rope fashioned from bed sheets. José Banks, who had already been recaptured by police, is also known as the "Second Hand Bandit" due to his habit of wearing "thrift store disguises" in an apparent nod to the Home Alone school of burglary.

Police officers were responding to a call about a suspicious man spotted sleeping in the basement of a condo under renovation when they confronted Conley, who was dressed like an old man, wearing a beret and glasses, and walking with a limp. The most interesting member of the story, however, is the condo resident who aided the police in Conley's capture. A 33-year-old high school teacher who refused to give his last name, identifying himself only as "Dan," punched Conley in the face when he tried to enter Dan's home. Nothing gets past Dan:

"Where he met his end was here," [Dan] said. "He didn't get permission to enter my place. He got taken out of here in a bad way."
