Inmates make 'Shawsank'-like escape from Brazilian prison

Inmates at a Brazilian jail have made a 'Shawshank Redemption'-like escape.

The 27 prisoners fled their cells at Vicente Piragibe jail in Rio de Janeiro through the sewerage system in a similar way to how Tim Robbins' alter-ego Andy Dufresne gets out of prison in the 1994 drama movie, which also starred Morgan Freeman.
