When we think about jail, one thing feels pretty obvious, I would think: it's a place people generally try to stay out of. Whether it's for a short stint or a long sentence, crossing that barbed wire usually means someone made some serious mistakes. But every now and then, a story comes along that flips the script entirely. Maybe not every now and then, actually. But this story might leave you blinking at the headline, and wondering…wait, what? Today, a story that involves meth, wire cutters, a broken window, and a man so determined... he wasn’t trying to escape from jail. He was trying to break in. And trust me: this wasn’t a drunken mistake or a wrong turn. It was a full-on plan.
