RIO DE JANEIRO - A masked Rio de Janeiro inmate dressed as a woman tried to break out of a Brazilian jail this weekend in a surreal act of derring-do, only to be thwarted on the cusp of freedom by state prison authorities.
“When he started talking, and pretending to speak like a woman, the guard realized that it was an attempted jailbreak, and identified him,” said Moyses Henriques, deputy head of prison operations in Rio state. “It was an inmate trying to escape as a woman.” Rio’s prison authority said Silva’s daughter and seven other people were arrested on suspicion of having tried to help him escape. Silva, meanwhile, was moved to another jail unit and will face punishment, it added.
