ARGENTINA: 2 Prisoners Escape As Dummy Stands Guard.

TELEGRAPH/      Facing a severe shortage of guards, officials placed a dummy with a football for a head in one of the 15 watch towers. The dummy didn't thwart two prisoners from climbing the wire fence and escaping. "We named him Wilson, like in the film Cast Away, and put him in one of the towers," said a guard. Allegedly, video cameras monitoring the perimeter wall stopped working months ago. Both escapees had been serving out sentences for armed robbery at the jail in  Neuquén province and were due to be released soon.
