If you are currently in prison and reading 2oceansvibe, you may enjoy this: it is your prison break-out plan. You are most welcome. If you are a regular, sincere, law-abiding citizen, then here is a rundown of how Richard Matt and David Sweat broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility in the USA on the weekend.

It’s pretty impressive and includes power tools, 24-inch thick steam-pipes, two-foot thick walls and a drainpipe.

It is suspected that they used power tools that were “either sweet-talked out of a female civilian worker or delivered by a contractor working at the prison”.

There is currently construction work happening at the prison, and it seems apparent that guards and security did not check the “number of tools a contractor was bringing into or out of the maximum-security facility”.

The guards inspect the van on the way in for contraband and inspect it on the way out for prisoners. But they don’t make sure that the guy came in with five drills and left with five drills.

How did they do it?

Using hacksaws, they cut the 3/8-inch-thick steel walls around air vents near the heads of their cots to form man-size openings they could slip through.
They kept the vents in place to avoid detection. The paint on the walls is so irregular and chipped that it was impossible to tell they had been tampered with.
The vents led to a labyrinth of cobweb-covered catwalks, but before the cons ventured out, they stuffed their sweatshirts with clothes to fool the guards making bed checks every two hours.
Then, carrying the tools in a guitar case one of the inmates had in his cell, Matt and Sweat shimmied six stories down pipes — from catwalk to catwalk — until they reached the ground floor.
There they identified the main steampipe and followed it through the various subterranean tunnels, figuring it would lead them to the outside.

There we have it folks. Your very own get out of jail free card. With directions.
