Escaping from prison seems like a last-ditch effort to sniff freedom. You wouldn’t try it if you had a chance to be released any time soon… Right?
A man named Lucas Brown was caught escaping from a jail in Colorado last Thursday night. He was only on the loose for 35 MINUTES.
And get this: He was supposed to be released just TWO DAYS LATER. Now that won’t be happening.
Lucas was working as a “kitchen trustee” and was cleaning up for the night. He went out to take out the trash and just ran off.
Here’s another twist: He was previously caught escaping back in 2017 so he shouldn’t have qualified to be in a “trustee” position, with outdoor access. He had the role for about a month, but didn’t try to make a run for it until last week.
Lucas was serving a 90 day-sentence. There’s no word how much extra time is being tacked on due to the escape attempt.
