Think Inside the Box

For one inmate at a German correctional facility, simple certainly turned out to be effective.

Rather than brushing up on intricate escape plans by watching "Prison Break," the Turkish drug dealer who recently broke out of the Willich jail eschewed complicated tattoos of blueprints and the drugging of guards by simply hiding in a box.

There were no tunnels, no hard-bargaining for coveted work details, and no seducing of the attractive lady doctor who could provide access to medication and strategic windows. Instead, the 37-year-old took advantage of Germany's green policies and left himself out for recycling.

Taking the risk of being pulped into toilet paper over spending the next seven years doing time for drug dealing offenses, the savvy jailbird managed to evade all the security measures the prison had in place and escaped to freedom with the rubbish.

Now the police in the neighboring town of Viersen in North Rhine Westphalia are considering issuing an international arrest warrant for him.

Whether the warrant will be printed on recycled paper or not, the police wouldn't say.
