From the “Doesn’t anyone watch movies?” department CNN.com has this:
A manhunt is under way Tuesday for two inmates who chipped their way out of a New Jersey jail and left behind a note wishing authorities “Happy Holidays.”
Jose Espinosa, 20, and Otis Blunt, 32, who are considered armed and dangerous, were discovered missing from their cells at about 5:15 p.m. Saturday, according to Ted Romankow, Union County, New Jersey’s prosecutor.
Police said Espinosa and Blunt were in adjacent cells in the high-security area of the multilevel Union County Jail.
They used a long metal wire to scrape away mortar around the cinder block between their cells and in the outer wall in Espinosa’s cell, police said.
Once the cement block between the cells was removed, they smashed the block and hid the pieces in a footlocker.
They hung photographs of bikini-clad women to hide the holes in the walls.
I mean come on! Didn’t anyone there ever watch “The Shawshank Redemption“? Negative thinking means assuming bad people will do bad things. Wasn’t anyone paying attention? God speed, Andy Dufresne!

They probably showed that movie at the prison as a reward for “good behavior.”
