Craft project: jail break with Monopoly and dominoes

Ingenious: Dominoes, Toothpaste Used In Attempted Jail Break.

The two [inmates] then made a replica of the vent using paper towels stuck to a piece of sheet attached to the lid of Monopoly board game box.  Deputies believe the two used toothpaste as the 'glue' to stick them all together.  To simulate the holes in the grate, the inmates apparently melted down dominoes and used the black liquid as ink.

Nice try, guys! Too bad about the sally ports and four steel doors left between you and the outside. Thanks to Sean who pointed out the story.

In related news, the Pew Center on the States just released a report called 1 in 100: Behind Bars in America 2008. I haven't read it yet, but wonder if it will hold any solutions in addition to the bad-news data.
