    Suitcase Escape Bid Foiled At Mexican Prison

    Sky News – Tue, Jul 5, 2011

    A Mexican woman has been arrested for trying to sneak her husband out of prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.

    Maria del Mar Arjona, 19, was stopped as she left the prison in Chetumal, the capital of the Caribbean state Quintana Roo.

    Staff became suspicious as the young woman seemed nervous and was struggling with a black, wheeled suitcase which looked particularly bulky.

    Police spokesman Gerardo Campos said prison guards checked the bag and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside.

    Convicted in 2007, Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for illegal weapons possession.

    He is thought to be a member of the Sinaloa drugs cartel.

    Arjona has been arrested and charges are pending.

      She tried to plead not guilty to aiding a prisoner to escape, but it was an open and shut case.

        In UK he would probably get a suspended sentence and ��500 a week allowance for every pointless child he has made.

        If anything this just proves how pointless poor people are.

      Only an idiot would expect to not have a bag checked on the way out of a prison.

        Actually it was said it was checked only because the guards
        Became suspicious

        Don't say that.

        They had been wondering how 49 prisoners had escaped in a month, and also wondered (and smirked) at the big trolleys the relatives brought in an out.

        Until this fatal day, when their brightest head thought: "QUIZA ...UNA...CONEXION!!???"

      They should have had a back up plan, just 'in case' this didn't work.

      No doubt she will go to prison and they can say goodbye to their "Conjugal Rights" now.
