An Inmate serving a 15 year sentence for homicide disguises himself as a sheep to escape prison.




José Luis Callisaya Diaz attempted to escape from Chonchocoro, a maximum security prison in Bolivia, earlier this month by wrapping himself in sheepskin and crawling through the grassland surrounding the jail.


The inmate, also known as “El Araña,” used his fleece coat to sneak past security and attempted to break through one of the prison’s external walls on Feb. 4.


Despite his sneaky attempts, security noticed Diaz, who is serving 15 years for homicide, was not in his cell.


The inmate had escaped and made it out onto the grassland on February 4.


But, despite the attempt to blend in as a farm animal, Diaz was forced to turn back to his cell after authorities caught him red-handed.


In a bizarre set of photos, José Luis can be seen on all fours wearing the jacket and dark trousers while appearing to trail through the grass, impersonating a sheep.


We inform the Bolivian population that prison security police officers from the San Pedro de Chonchocoro Penitentiary Center prevented the escape of prisoner José Luis Callisaya Diaz (alias El Araña), who took advantage of the inclement weather to try to flee through one of the walls of the external perimeter of the prison,” the Director of the Penitentiary Regime Juan Carlos Limpias said.



Since the prison break, authorities have ordered legal and disciplinary actions against the prisoner.
