A dangerous Venezuelan criminal recently managed to escape prison by disguising himself as a woman and simply walking out at the end of visiting hours.
Manuel Lorenzo Ávila Alvarado, a 25-year-old man imprisoned for homicide and aggravated robbery managed to escape El Libertador Prison in Tocuyito, Venezuela’s Carabobo state on March 13, following a conjugal visit. According to the local newspaper El Carabobeño, the incident occurred around 2:00 in the afternoon, at the end of visiting hours. Despite having a dark skin tone, Alvarado managed to trick several prison guards that he was a blond woman by putting on a wig and female clothes, most likely brought in by his girlfriend.
Prison security cameras captured the moment when the inmate, dressed as a lady, casually walked out of the heavily guarded facility by mingling with a group of actual women at the end of visiting hours. It’s unclear how the guards could have been fooled so easily, which is why four of them are currently being investigated in relation to this incident.
