101 techniques to get you out of prision - number 45

Get a mate to send a fake fax from the corner shop. It worked for nineteen year old Timothy Rouse as it managed to get him released from the Kentucky Correctional and Psychiatric Center in LaGrange where he was under psychiatric evaluation. The fax, which was not even sent of letterhead and contained a number of misspellings and grammatical errors, was purported to be from the Kentucky Supreme Court. Young Mr. Rouse managed to stay at large for a fortnight before the mistake was noticed and the police found him round his Mum's place.

One wonders if Mr. Rouse is a Guardian reader or perhaps is related in some way to Mohamed Al Fayed.
