Two male prisoners escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago's South Loop early Tuesday.
The men have been identified as Jose Banks, 37, and Kenneth Conley, 38. NBC Chicago reports the two were last seen Tuesday morning in the Tinley Park, Ill. area, about 25 miles from the Chicago facility.
Authorities discovered that the men -- both recently convicted bank robbers -- were missing from their cell around 8:45 a.m., the Chicago Tribune reports. The two had last been checked in on at 5 a.m., at the 71 W. Van Buren federal facility, police said.
The men apparently tied bed sheets together to form a rope which they used to climb out of a window, NBC reports.
This story isn't quite as good as the story of the prisoners who escaped by dressing as sheep, but it's still pretty good. I wonder if those guys watched that episode of Mythbusters where this was tested.
So what resources would you use if you had to escape from prison?
