A dozen inmates who escaped from an Alabama prison by tricking an inexperienced guard with a genius peanut butter plot have been recaptured. The cunning crooks used the peanut spread from jail sandwiches to change the number on their cell door to match the number of an outside door.

Sheriff James Underwood said “that door number was the outside door. Unbeknowingly to him, he hit that door and out the door they went”. The runaway inmates then used a blanket to climb over a razor wire perimeter fence and make their escape. Police captured 11 of the inmates within eight hours of the incredible escape, while the last escapee, Brady Kilpatrick, was rearrested two days later in Florida. CAPTURED!

They scheme all the time to con us and our employees here at the jail. “You have to stay on you toes. This is one time we slipped up. I’m not going to make any excuses. It was a human error that caused this to happen.” He concluded that changing numbers on doors with peanut butter "may sound crazy, but these people are crazy like a-fox".- Prisoners break free to save guard having heart attack
