If this wasnt so damn serious it would be funny, did he get a cake the day before? why is it so difficult to keep contraband out of the hands of prisioners, surely by design its a fairly secure facility and yet we hear about this all the time..someone isnt doing what they are getting paid for

These incidents are happening all over the world and especially in some American prison. Just go online and prisoners are on Facebook and doing more vile things that would be thought about here. Overseers prisoners kill officers, ours just want some weed and talk to their mommas. We all sit in our chairs and write comments, about how tuff we want it for prisoners yet we would all be crying to the Commissioner if it was so. Stop talking s$$$t.
With understaffing, an issue that Westgate opened with, drugs and phone coming over the walls for years, Bermuda’s prisoners have a life of luxury. Their friends walk in, or come by boat to hand over contraband . Mr Commissioner, hugs are not working.

Those officers working that night should be commended, along with the other hard working staff who save lives and find contraband daily. In some US states, it is illegal by Law, to bring a phone into a prison and also to record via Facebook or on the web any inmate webcams.

You know you all just make me laugh, havent you realize that going to prison is a luxury and has it’s benefits. you have access to more in prison then you do on the outside.

when a riot breaks out in Bermy I guarantee you more weapons will come from the inside then on th e street, you have the generals up there and the commanders and the commadores and the foot soldiers.

They are not trying to get out but only keeping us on our toes to show who is really in control.

seriously speaking if I ever have to go there just put me in the section with the hand grenades, so when I get tired I can bring back guy fawks night and 4th of July in one go.

Tongue and cheek that with stupidity and you would be a great genius.

im with you on that Tina ,,,,no mention of what he used or how he obtained this tool…i dont think a plastic knife would suffice…he wasnt even trying to escape the facility …jus trying to recover some much needed prison supplies…lol. Does this facility not have perimeter cams…a prison of such miniscule proportions compared to other detainment centers are armed to the tooth with surveillance equipment…less chances of this happening…less man power to pay…we could have saved millions with tents and a lethal electric fence, ….one guard tower in the center…360degree visibilty…outdoor showers with water heated by he sun(not expensive water heaters or solar heaters, jus big black holding tanks)…forget that sports field up there , use that to grow thier food thus saving more money…providing things to do rather than planning their next crime…also if you dont work , you dont eat!!
things would change drastically up there …do away with their state of the art laundry , wash their clothes by hand…do away with the kitchens too…BBQ every night…they only need to eat once a day anyway…you dont need3 meals aday, that is jus one of the many fallacies that you have been led to believe by corporate induction to profit off of your demise…as long as you walk around with your eyes closed you will continue to run into things…for those of you who claim to be educated, im sorry to tell you but you are just “programmed”…common sense is the real education that you need in life…but common sense is natural and not profitable ,unlike colleges n universities which command more than what you can provide ,hence student loans , the beginning of your debts for life…oh well its about self survival now , take care and i’ll see you when you get here.

Well, what did he use to ‘saw’ a steel bar off? And how did he obtain his tool? Surely that is something that should be looked into, not just the strength and integrity of the bars…
