Honduras Thwarts Massive
Jail Break
The Honduran police said
Friday that after
several months of
investigation, they
frustrated a planned
mass escape through a
262 foot tunnel out of
Marco Aurelio Soto
National Penitentiary.
The tunnel ran SE under
Section 2 that houses
460 inmates and was just
8.2 feet short of coming
out on the other side of
the wall, through which
hundreds of dangerous
criminals planned to
escape after paying $940
each.
Eight alleged leaders
have been transferred to
punishment cells while
the guards confiscated
sharp weapons and other
prohibited objects.
Warden Aldo Oliva said
the escape was planned
for November. |
