Back in January 2013, the Atlanta Police Department
started investigating inmates "temporarily escaping" from the
medium-security US Penitentiary in the city, According to filed court documents
(see court papers here), cops believe the inmates escaped through holes cut in the
prison fence.
Court records show that officers first
noticed a car parked near the prison fence line. The people inside wore ski
masks and jumpsuits. When cops approached, the suspects climbed the fence and
ran back onto prison grounds.
Inside the car, cops found bottled alcohol, 24 cell phones and two
loaded handguns. Late last year, officers discovered two man-sized holes in the
fence.
A month later, surveillance cameras were installed along the prison
fence, and over the next three weeks, cops watched as inmates escaped to
retrieve large bags of contraband. Then on February 3, one inmate's luck ran
out. Justin B. Stinson allegedly escaped though the fence and grabbed a large
black duffel back filled with contraband. As he was trying to sneak back into
the penitentiary, FBI agents arrested him, according to court documents.
The FBI found Stinson with a cell phone, a pair of scissors, two
1.75-liter bottles of Jose Cuervo tequila, two cartons of Newport cigarettes,
four boxes of Black & Mild Cigars and some food.
