This is not a movie. This literally happened. Like, this week.

A Nevada inmate serving a life sentence executed a movie-like prison escape. Correctional officers didn't know that the prisoner made a jailbreak for days. Las Vegas police finally captured the at-large inmate days after he made an unbelievable escape. ...

While serving time at the Southern Desert Correctional Center, [Porfirio Duarte-Herrera] reportedly used battery acid to break down the window frame of his prison cell. The inmate purportedly created a dummy – possibly made out of cardboard – to fool prison guards. ...

The inmate escaped the medium-security correctional center by slipping past the guards and the prison's perimeter fence.

Uh, I'm sorry, he "slipped past the guards" and "the prison's perimeter fence?" Like, just...

Thankfully he was taken in without killing anyone else:

A search was initiated about an hour after he was reported missing from the Southern Desert Correctional Center in Indian Springs.

Then on Thursday morning, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a tip and took Duarte-Herrera into custody in downtown Las Vegas after he was on the lam for five days.

You can bet the first thing the state is gonna do is have somebody out there repairing that frickin' fence.

And maybe restrict inmate access to cardboard while you're at it!
