Prisoner Faxes his way OUT of Prison
Prisoners Freed Because of False Fax
AJACCIO, France - Prison officials quickly complied when they
received a fax from the magistrate instructing them to free
three French prisoners. The prisoners were investigated for
illegal possession of firearms and attempted extortion, and
the fax demanding their release turned out to be fake. The
prison officials, however, did not doubt the document because
it was written on official stationery, so they neglected to
check the originating fax number or follow-up with the judge
for confirmation. The prisoners' supposed "release" is now a
successful escape.
