Prison officers foil jail break
The inmates tried to chip and chisel their way through a concrete wall in Mountjoy Jail using improvised files, but prison officers carrying out a routine search of cells early on Sunday morning spotted their hard work and their bid for freedom was nipped in the bud.
“Some of the prisoners were chipping and chiselling and they had chopped out certain areas around the bars,” said one prison source. “It was a considered attempt, they certainly made a lot of effort, but it was a pretty pointless exercise.”
