Bro has been watching prison break lately

He climbed up? Hardly Michael Scofield

Wasn't anyone monitoring these cameras? Was the footage only reviewed afterwards, not monitored in real time? That seems very lax.

And to think a couple of bucks worth of grease near the top would have saved hundreds of thousands in search cost.

It’s 100% the wardens fault for not completely enclosing that gap in the roof that the inmate used 4 months prior to escape from - all the moron did was put barb wire up to make it “more” difficult to escape - he took a half measure when a full measure was needed and now look what happened

Seems like people in this thread don't even understand what being a Brazilian is about, they practice a dance/martial arts called capoeira, look it up and then you'll understand...
