Shawshank Redemption style prison break
The two enterprising gents shown here decided prison didn't suit them, so they removed some cement blocks that stood between them and the verdant paradise known as New Jersey. They figured the warden might object to their plans, so they covered their egress with "photos of bikini-clad women." It worked.
LinkEspinosa, 20, an alleged gang member, was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to manslaughter in a 2005 drive-by shooting in Elizabeth. Blunt, 32, was awaiting trial on charges of robbery and weapons offenses.
The men helped cover up the break by placing dummies under their bed blankets, and hiding the wall holes with magazine photos of women in bikinis, authorities said.
Authorities launched a review of security measures, and barred inmates from pinning up pictures from magazines on their cell walls.

Brooks was here
Did they raise their arms to the sky in triumph during a thunderstorm?
"barred inmates from pinning up pictures from magazines on their cell walls"
Oh way to go guys. Way to freakin ruin it for everybody.
There should be NOTHING on the cell walls.
Except pink paint.
And unicorns.
And rainbow lollipops.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
@#6: ???
Some Shawshankery up in here!
@#1: ...so was Red.
@#7: That's a quote from the movie.
Were they caught?
"At a news conference Monday, Romanko read the note that was found in Espinosa's cell, saying it represented the "arrogance of these two men."
"Thank you officer -------- for the tools needed, you're a real pal, Happy Holidays," the note read, with a smiley face drawn next to it."
haha..jackass.
It's really too bad that these two are violent killer scumbags instead of noble, clever movie characters. Hope they're rounded up and put away for good soon.
patiently waits for first prison break reference...
I haven't seen the movie, but I have read the novella by Stephen King, and IIRC the escape is as much about the crappy construction standards of certain public works projects as it is about the indomitable human spirit.
Christ - I hope that Espinosa fled straight to her dermatologist's office.
