I was on CNN’s website a little earlier today and read one of the funniest stories in my life.
Four inmates escaped from jail last Thursday night in Rogersville, Tennessee and went to get beer. Then they went back and partied with the other inmates.
Okay…let’s start going over the things that scream “What Happened?”
First…according to the story, the “cell block doors…were left unlocked and a faulty control panel failed to alert jailers.” So that explains how the inmates got out of the cell block. Next, two of the inmates “walked out through a fire exit, leaving the door propped open with a Bible, and made a hole in the exercise yard fence.” That brings up a load of questions, such as “Why aren’t jail fire exits like most other fire exits in that they alarm if opened?” (especially if this is a JAIL) Another question could be “HOW DID THEY GET TOOLS TO CUT A HOLE IN THE FENCE?”
Okay…so two inmates walked to a store and got some beer. Then they went back to the jail and shared it with some of their prison buddies. Then…if that wasn’t enough, two other inmates went and got some more beer from a different store when their first run-alcohol ran out. The last paragraph of the story reads “the store visits did not raise alarm because the inmates were wearing street clothes borrowed from other prisoners. The crowded jail does not have enough orange jumpsuits to go around.”
So how did the guys get the MONEY FOR THE BEER?
