US NewsEl Chapo Has Disappeared. (Is He at the Supermax?)

A dozen inmates escaped from Walker County jail in Jasper, Alabama, U.S. on July 30, 2017, using peanut butter to alter the number over the exit. They then persuaded an inexperienced guard in the control room to open a door he thought was the entrance to a cell, inadvertently letting the criminals out. Eleven of the escapees were captured soon; Brady Kilpatrick (pictured) was the last to be arrested with the help of law enforcement and the FBI on Aug. 2 in Florida.
