U.S.: Why did insane convict Phillip Paul escape? He wanted sunshine.

  • Well … that seems like a perfectly reasonable reason to us. Shocking that he got away, but still reasonable. The ensuing search after his escape only cost the Spokane sheriff’s office around $37,000. source

U.S.: Protip: Don’t take insane murderers to the county fair

  • Phillip Paul escaped from a fair, then was recaptured. The Washington state prison inmate was arrested – again – on Sunday afternoon. Paul had been plotting his escape for months, knowing that he would be taken on a field trip to the Spokane County Fair. He escaped Thursday. Paul also escaped in 1991 and hurt a police officer during his recapture. That guy helped recapture Paul this time too. So, big question: Why are we taking prisoners to the county fair? For the elephant ears? source
