and bring back beer? (http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/07/20/brf.inmates.beer.run.ap/index.html)
haha, so now they get even more time. Idiots.
We had some inmates here in Georgia escape by "walking out the non-inmate exit" while the prison guards were serving as extras in the filming of a rap video at the prison.
The sheriff ended up resigning over it.
The poeple who were supposed to be supervising them hopefully got in a little trouble too.
Ahh yes, another example of why I believe the US penal system is a joke.

LoL, that's the rap video from Austin Powers 3. :P
I don't think they should be punished for escaping, they showed their honesty by coming back.
No thats stupidity. If the police hadnt noticed the first 2 escape a lot more could have.

So what you're saying is we should let them escape and enjoy life as long as they come back? Let them run rampart, hope they don't commit any crimes, and hope they come back?
No, I'm saying that if by some chance that they do escape, so long as they come back & haven't committed any new crimes why punish them? I'm speaking in reference to this case only, not any others that have occurred or others that will occur.
Because they're being punished for a crime they commited, that's the point of jail if you can walk out at anytime and enjoy yourself? Not only that I'm pretty sure there are rules about inmates serving their time needing to be inside the jail perimeter at all times, and if a rule is broken there has to be consequences does there not?

Well, he's Canadian, so we don't really have any crime.
How'd they get the money to buy the beer? I thought in prison you're not allowed to have any posessions?

You work for a ridiculous wage. You're allowed to have possessions there is a commissary. Family can bring you approved items. Although it depends on the security level you're being held in.

For example, Martha Stewart will be working for between $.15-$.55/hour, for 11 hours every day.

Such a down grade, I almost feel sorry for the crook. :)
They probably had cash because they were in a county lock up in a small ass town. Probably in jail for being drunk in public or some dumb little crap like that.
