Whirlwind gives prisoners a break

SNOOKER legend Jimmy White yesterday made a memorable prison break from inside one of the country’s most famous jails.

The Whirlwind invoked the spirit of Johnny Cash’s immortal performances in US state penitentiaries by playing against inmates inside Mountjoy Prison.

Killers, drug dealers, armed robbers and other figures from the criminal underworld packed into the jail’s spartan auditorium under the watchful gaze of warders to see their hero.
