Inmates caught at IHOP after allegedly tunneling through cell wall, escaping from jail

Two Virginia inmates are back in custody after they allegedly escaped from jail by tunneling through a cell wall, authorities said.

The men, John Garza and Arley Nemo, allegedly made tools out of a toothbrush and a metal object to help them access untied rebars between the walls of the Newport News Jail Annex, according to the Newport News Sheriff's Office.

Virginia has a little law that if the inmate is too much for the jail they can actually be sent to prison before trial and they'll probably go to supermax before trial
