Kenya’s 'perfect' prison escape

A flawless escape: this is what happens when an inmate outsmarts a system and his jailers become jailbirds. Unfortunately, the inmate’s friends were collateral damage. BY JOSAYA WASONGA

To break out of a Kenyan prison, you do not need the dare-devilish plan of Redoine Faid; the French-Algerian robber who recently broke out of a Paris prison with the aid of a hijacked helicopter. Neither do you need the mind-boggling twists and turns of Michael Scofield and his co-accomplices in the hit TV series, Prison Break. Apparently, you only need to have enough cheese to grease the right palms, and you will be free from your shackles faster than an escape artiste can pull a death-defying stunt.
