SYDNEY (Reuters) - A prisoner lost some 30 pounds so he could squeeze through a hole he chiseled in a brick wall and escape from a maximum security jail in Sydney.
Robert Cole, 36, who was serving time for stealing and assault, was being treated in the Long Bay prison hospital when he broke out of jail Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
New South Wales state Corrective Services deputy commissioner Ian McLean told reporters it appeared Cole had deliberately lost weight so he could slip through the crack in the wall. ¶ 3:32 PM
