Twenty-eight inmates escaped from the Nova Mutum jail near Cuiaba, Brazil after several women drugged and handcuffed three wardens, having seduced them with promises of an orgy, the Mirror reports.

Early New Year's Eve, police in Brazil's Alagoas state thwarted a potential jailbreak when they captured a cat attempting to smuggle various escape tools into a medium-security prison. According to Google's probably very accurate translation of the State of Alagoas' official statement on the matter, the small black and white cat was found with " two saws, two drills for concrete, a headset, a memory card, a cell phone, three batteries and a mobile phone charger" taped around its stomach.

Before dawn yesterday, 85 inmates using ladders scaled the walls of a prison in Reynosa, Mexico along the border with Texas, allegedly with the help of guards. Most of the escapees are thought to be cartel gunmen. [Houston Chronicle]

The men who escaped from an Arizona prison last week are running around killing and burning people.
