El Chapo famously escaped from a maximum-security prison through a deep011 Archives high-tech, 1-mile tunnel. These guys, instead, just used peanut butter.
SEE ALSO: A man escaped maximum-security prison in South Carolina thanks to a droneThe highly imaginative albeit startling escape took place in Walker County, Alabama, where a dozen inmates disfigured the number on one of the cell door with peanut butter to make it look like the one leading to the outside of the jail.
All one of them had to do, then, was to convince a new jail employee, who was watching the prisoners on closed-circuit TV from the control room, to open it claiming he needed to go back him.
Instead, he had just unlocked the door that opened to the outside.
"Changing numbers on doors with peanut butter - It may sound crazy, but these kinds of people are crazy like a fox," Walker County Sheriff James Underwood said during a press conference.
"He thought he was opening the cell door for this man to go in his cell, but in fact he opened up the outside door."
Underwood added that he's not going to make excuses but it was a human error from a young lad.
The inmates, between 18 and 30 and facing charges ranging from attempted murder to disorderly conduct, used blankets to climb over a razor-wire fence encircling the Walker County Jail.
Eleven of the fugitives were captured within hours, while one -- Brady Andrew Kilpatrick, who was in jail on drug possession charges -- is still at large.
The escape occurred at about 6.30pm Sunday CDT and inmates had cleared the barbed wire fence in less than 10 minutes.
