All Prisoners Look Alike.

Md. inmate leaves prison by impersonating cellmate
An inmate serving three life sentences for attempted murder convictions pretended to be a cellmate who was due for release and walked out of a Baltimore prison, corrections officials said Thursday night.

Three times the security guards checked the prisoners identification. And three times they failed to notice that the identification card did not match the person holding the card. The security guards never did notice their mistake. It was brought to their attention hours later by the prisoner who was supposed to be released.

If this is the level of care the government uses when watching a convicted felon, what do you think you can expect from the government when they are overseeing your health care issues?

    Nonsense. Felons get the best of care; in fact the Feds recently mandated that California must spend an additional $8 billion on health care for felons. If we had any sense, we'd all be in prison, so we too could get free health care at taxpayer expense!

    What's bizarre is that this idiot wanted to leave prison in the first place -- after all he gets three squares a day, a roof over his head, all the TV he can watch, and best of all doesn't need to work a lick. What more could a welfare recipient want??
