NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia — An inmate with a history of escape attempts escaped from a maximum-security facility in Australia Tuesday, using bed sheets and a pillow to make his getaway.
Deutsche Welles reports that Stephen Jamieson, 28, cut a hole in a metal gate at the back of a small, secure exercise yard attached to his segregation cell in the Goulburn Correctional Center around noon.
He wrapped a pillow around his waist to avoid injury from razor wire as he used bed sheets to climb over a wall.
Jamieson was in solitary confinement due to his history of escape attempts. He had previously tried to escape by digging a tunnel, starting at a cabinet in the prison workshop.
A manhunt is now underway for Jamieson.
