OAKLAND, Md. (AP) - The Garrett County sheriff says an inmate escaped from jail by kicking a hole through a wall.
Sheriff Rob Corley explained on Friday how 31-year-old Alisa Shafer of Friendsville escaped Thursday afternoon. Deputies apprehended her that evening.
Corley says Shafer kicked a hole through the half-inch drywall of a bathroom to escape from a holding area into the jail lobby. He says neither cameras nor correctional officers observed her as she turned her black-and-white-striped jail outfit inside-out and fled.
Corley says blueprints for the holding area do not specify such flimsy material. He says the poor construction is inexcusable.

Just let her go , you don't get any jail time anymore. Murder ,maybe a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteSince when do you build jails out of drywall. All of the jails I've seen have block walls everywhere even in the bathrooms. Sounds like they had to cut down on costs. I guess this is what happens with budget cuts.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle broke out of the Rockville Jail in the late 40's.
ReplyDeleteHe pulled the toilet out of the floor and used it to break down the block wall.
