A dozen inmates at the Walker County Jail in Jasper made a run for it on Sunday night. Most were quickly caught. They are all back behind bars now, with the final fugitive recaptured Tuesday night.

沃克郡監獄的12名受刑人,週日晚間越獄。大多數人隨即被逮捕。最後一名逃犯週二晚間被逮捕歸案後,他們現在全都重回監獄。

Their escape plan: Trick a new employee into opening an outside door. The weapon of choice: peanut butter.

他們的越獄計畫:騙一名新來的獄卒打開一扇通往外面的門。選擇的武器:花生醬。

"It may sound crazy, but these people are crazy like a fox," Walker County Sheriff Jim Underwood said at a news conference in Jasper on Monday.

沃克郡警長吉米.安德伍德週一在碧玉市的一場新聞發佈會上表示,「這聽起來很瘋狂,但這些人非常狡猾。」

What the guard believed to be an inmate’s cell door was actually a door leading outside. "They changed the number over the (cell) door with peanut butter" to match the door to the outside. "(Then) they hollered, ’Hey, open door’ so-and-so, but (the number the inmates gave the worker) was the outside door. And unknowingly to him, he hit that lock and out the door they went," Underwood said.

獄卒以為那是一扇通往牢房的門,實際上卻是一扇通往外面的門。通往外面的那扇門「被他們用花生醬改成(牢房)門上的編號」。「(然後)他們鼓噪,『嘿,開門』之類,但(受刑人提供給獄卒的門號)是通往外面的門。於是他不明就裡地打開鎖,而他們如願走出那扇門,」安德伍德說。

"They scheme all the time to con us and our employees here at the jail. You have to stay on your toes. This is one time we slipped up." Despite the situation, the sheriff said he doesn’t have plans to put any dietary restrictions in place in the future. "They love peanut butter sandwiches," said Underwood.

「他們在監獄裡總是密謀著要欺騙我們和我們的雇員。你必須保持警覺。這次是我們失誤中計。」儘管如此,警長說他未來並不打算實施任何飲食限制措施。「他們喜歡花生醬三明治,」安德伍德說。
