NYT on Prisoner Escape

Correction Lapses Admitted in Prisoner's Escape Via Bus

"There are not many places in the world where a jail inmate can flee a boat by riding a bus, but Ivan Jones found a way to do it when he broke out of a city jail last month, the New York City correction commissioner said yesterday."

"Mr. Jones slipped out of the handcuff and, apparently without any employee seeing him, dashed under the Department of Correction bus, Mr. Horn said. He clung to the undercarriage as the other inmates boarded and held on as the bus pulled away, Mr. Horn said. At some point on the streets of the South Bronx, Mr. Jones rolled out from under the bus and walked away, Mr. Horn said."

Bond. James Bond. FWIW, they just found this guy on Wednesday.
