I see a lot of people that have never tied bed sheets together and broke out of prison climbing 20 stories down offering their opinion on this.

That's what I kept wondering.

I would not trust my knot-tying ability.


Nor would I trust my ability to hold on to the rope all the way down.

They did say on the news last night the knots were reinforced with dental floss.

Well then I'm sure it was perfectly safe. Big Chicagoan would have climbed down the rope upside down. :roll:

I read somewhere that the most they can add to your sentence for an escape attempt is 5 years.

If they used a dumbbell to enlarge the window slit, it seems as though someone should have heard it. I wouldn't doubt there were people on the inside that helped.

Any possibility they escaped another way and use the rope as a diversion to what they really did to escape?

Why would they risk getting caught by breaking a window if they were going out another way? That would seem real stupid to me. Then again, I've never broken out of jail.

No, this escape was easy, any inmate could have done it.

They have caught inmates in the past with a bunch of bed sheets tied together hidden in their cells. So obviously, other people have noticed that it would be easy to get out that way.

I tend to want the villain to win in situations like this. I can't really explain it other than the fact I usually like underdogs.

I kinda felt like that too. I was impressed with their escape.

Good ol' WGN had a guy call in and say usually your fellow prisoners are in charge of handing out fresh sheets. You're supposed to bring your old ones in and they give you a new set. So instead of getting one set back a week or whatever you might get two. Put extra sheets on the bed and hope nobody looks closely and notices your bed is a little puffier until you have enough and voila.

My irrational hatred of our government usually has me rooting for the "bad guys" in situations like this too. Maybe I've just listened to one too many Johnny Cash songs.

I'm with those hoping they escape

at this point it seems pretty likely too- at least if they do get caught it's not going to be anytime soon....there's a slim to none chance they're still anywhere around here

Yeah ... did you know that was Batman director Chrisotpher Nolan's brother?

The brother of "The Dark Knight" film director Christopher Nolan (Matthew Nolan) made it clear on Wednesday how much he hated prison.

....(blah blah blah).......

Nolan in April pleaded guilty to plotting to escape from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago.

Authorities last October discovered about 31 feet of rope and a harness made from bed sheets, a metal clip that could unlock handcuffs, and a razor inside a mattress in Nolan's cell. At the time, he was awaiting extradition to Costa Rica on murder charges.

The FBI arrested Nolan in February 2009 as he left bankruptcy court in Chicago and charged him with the 2005 kidnapping and murder of Florida accountant Robert Cohen in Costa Rica.

A judge later ruled that because of insufficient evidence from Costa Rican authorities, Nolan could be extradited to Costa Rica to face only false document charges.

Nolan had been in bankruptcy court in a separate case in which a judge entered a $600,000 judgment against him for not paying back a loan from a suburban businessman. Nolan claimed he was using his military skills to run an international bank collection service and needed the loan to finish a job in Costa Rica.

At the time of his arrest, Nolan was being investigated by Chicago police in a check-kiting scam where he allegedly made $1 million by using the connection to his movie director brother to cozy up to local banks. Charges were never filed in that investigation.

On Wednesday, Nolan was also ordered to serve two years of probation and submit to drug tests. If he violates his parole, Hibbler warned, he'd be sent back to prison.

"I'd like to be allowed to close this chapter in my life and hug my wife and kids again," Nolan said.

Well one guy was caught on the Northside of Chicago last night.


Escapee Joseph “Jose” Banks caught after daring jailbreak

By FRANK MAIN


Joseph 'Jose' Banks escaped from Metropolitan Correctional Center 71 W. Van Buren St. Last week Banks told U.S. District

Joseph "Jose" Banks escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center at 71 W. Van Buren St. Last week, Banks told U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, “You’ll hear from me!” after he was found guilty of bank robbery.

Joseph “Jose” Banks, one of two convicted bank robbers who escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center this week, was caught late Thursday night in the 2300 block of North Bosworth, authorities said early Friday. His cellmate, Kenneth Conley, was still at large early Friday.

A statement said agents and officers from the Chicago FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force and Chicago Police officers arrested Banks about 11:30 p.m. Thurday. Banks was not armed when he was captured, a law enforcement source told the Chicago Sun-Times.


Earlier Thursday, a union official said a staffing shortage in the federal jail in downtown Chicago contributed to a series of security snafus that made this week’s daring escape possible. Banks and Conley crawled out a hole in the wall of their 17th-floor cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center and slid down a rope made of bedsheets early Tuesday.

The breakout was caught on surveillence video, but a guard assigned to monitor the cameras didn’t see it because he was counting prisoners on another floor, the official said. FBI agents later recovered a private surveillance video of Banks and Conley jumping into a cab near the jail at about 2:40 a.m. Tuesday. But jail officers didn’t notice they had escaped until 7 a.m. that morning. The escapees stopped briefly at Conley mother’s house in Tinley Park before they vanished, authorities said.

An official with the Council of Prison Locals 33, which represents the guards in the jail, spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times about the escape on the condition that his name not be used. The union official said two officers were assigned to a control room where the closed-circuit TV monitors for the jail’s security cameras are located.

But one of them was preoccupied answering phone calls from other officers providing the results of their prisoner counts. Because of a staffing shortage, the other officer was on the 17th floor doing a count — instead of monitoring the cameras, the official said. “The timing was just perfect,” official said. “Does it make sense? Absolutely not. It’s a breach of security.”

Several years ago, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons cut back on the staffing of correctional facilities across the country, including the MCC, the union official said.

Because of the cuts, the MCC no longer assigns an officer to a car to patrol the jail’s perimeter — which includes Clark, Federal, Van Buren and Congress, the official said. The mobile officer was supposed to look for signs of escape on the building’s exterior.

The jail also used to have an officer walking a foot patrol outside the jail 24 hours a day on three shifts. Now only one officer is assigned to a foot patrol from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the union official said.

But that officer is primarily responsible for watching for people at the front entrance, at the vehicle entrance for transporting prisoners to the jail and in the employee parking lot, the union official said.

The official said the staffing shortage limits the number of “shakedowns” of prisoners’ cells, too. The searches are important in finding contraband that inmates hide in their cells.

As for whether he thinks anyone working for the jail helped Banks and Conley escape, the official said he was told that the FBI’s investigation found no initial evidence of an “inside job.”

“Let the investigation fall where it may,” said the union official. “The bottom line is to basically make sure this doesn’t happen again. The objective of the union and management should be safety. We need more staff to be safe.”

Responding to a request for comment on the union official’s view, Ed Ross, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons wrote in an email: “At this time it would be premature to speculate regarding any of these matters as the entire incident is still under investigation.”

I wonder if one of his homies turned him in for the $50k reward.

Going to prison, then risking your life on a daring escape, and then being caught again a couple of days later has to be one of the most stressful/exhilirating experiences. Talk about going from euphoria to the pits of depression.

Will be interesting to see if the other guy is any smarter.

Just how would an escaped con get to Mexico or the Caribbean? Fire up the smartphone, punch up aa.com, buy a plane ticket and then sail through the security check point at ORD?

You'd think that with all the stolen money they could pay somebody to drive them.

Andy Dufresne bought a car and drove to Mexico after he escaped from prison.

True, but the guy is expected to get 80 years on the bank robbery charges. The feds basically said we don't have time for this (or lunch). No biggy. If it turns out the cat gets a light sentence they plan on going back after him on the escape charges.

How much effort/time does it really take to prosecute him on escape charge at the same time as the bank robbery charges? I mean, they are going to use the fact that he escaped as evidence of guilt at the trial anyways. Just opening themselves up to looking stupid.... which Illinois State's Attorneys seem to like.
