Breaking Into Jail

Jail guards in Georgia had the surprise of their lives when they caught an escaped prisoner trying break back in.

In the bizarre incident convicted felon Harry Jackson (no relation) broke out of jail on the hunt for cigarettes.

Sheriff Tommy Gregory told journalists that Jackson had climbed over the exercise yard fence, walked a few hundred yards to a convenience store, took the cigarettes, and returned to the prison.

Jackson, who was being held on charges of possession of drugs and violating probation, now faces new charges of breaking out of jail and burglary.
