Last month Otis Blunt and Jose Espinosa escaped from the Union County Jail. Their escape has been compared to the Shawshank Redemption escape. They used pictures of women to cover holes they dug through cinderblock walls. Jose Espinosa was captured last night a mere 6 blocks from the jail. He clearly was not the brightest person in [...]
