A medical examiner office in Louisville, Ky., is conducting autopsies to determine whether two inmates whose bodies were found in a landfill were crushed to death.
Investigators believe the inmates may have been loaded into a garbage truck from a dumpster.
Authorities think the men were hiding in the dumpster after escaping Wednesday from the Kentucky State Reformatory in La Grange.

Hauling away the trash.

"Kentucky Corrections officials say they expect the incident to deter future escape attempts."

That's priceless!

As long as we're bringing up the Darwin Awards, this is good for an honorable mention:

Steve McQueen & Ali McGraw were a little luckier in "The Getaway"...LOL

You don't see any GITMO prisoners trying this stunt.

[George from New England]

That's just the movie I thought of too!

It would have been a very short film if it turned out this way!

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[dc-zoo]

Garbage in.. Garbage out.

[incredulous joe]

If this happened to any of the terrorists down there at GITMO I guarantee the press in this country would go nuts!

These poor stupid schleps in Kentucky probably won't rate 20 more posts on this thread.

Garbage in, garbage out.

"Kentucky Corrections officials say they expect the incident to deter future escape attempts."

I didn't think fear of death was a crime deterrent.

[tubebender]

Compacted Ping...

[Steelerfan]

That IS what all the deal penalty opponents tell us.

[TNCMAXQ]

Too bad we can't administer this kind of death penalty to countless other murderers, rapists, child abusers, etc.

[Cyclopean Squid]

A photo of one of the unfortunates...but I have a feeling he'll be back...

[Steely Tom]

This is unconscionable.

Federal OSHA regulations must be immediately amended to require electronic scream detectors in the cargo spaces of all garbage trucks, which detectors must be wired to interlock the compression mechanism.

Talk about being depressed and down in the dumps

GIGO Garbage in, Garbage out.

Alas...the dreaded red X. For those who can't see it, it's the Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. He shall die as he lived...without honor.

- George, I don't think this was such a good idea.

- Shut up Lenny.

[finnman69]

A good replacement for the electric chair.

And it creates environmentally friendly compost!

[RonPaulLives]

You beat me by four minutes in posting this story!

LOL. Just think about the tax dollars we just saved in Kentucky on these two.

[Phocion]

That's gotta hurt.

[kevkrom]

How long until someone tries to fine the prison for failing to separate their recyclables from the rest of the trash?

[b4its2late]

LOL! Thanks for the script of it!

I like posting that red x guy every once in a while...

I just love a story with a happy ending.

I trust you understood the sarcastic nature of my remark.

One of these creeps broke in a house in the night and raped a 17 year old girl 2 years ago. Her dad was interviewed on Lexington local TV last night and was overjoyed at this change of events. He had sent his daughter out of town when they heard of his escape. The poor girl and her family had been terrified.

I'm waiting for the lawsuit against "Kentucky Corrections officials", the trash haulers, the manufacturer of the trash compactor and whomever else is in sight. More reasons to hate lawyers.

"Hey! Bob! Its' getting kinka tight in here, was this a good idea?"....OUCH!" **CRUNCH**

You guys are great!! You did it!! You put these poor slobs over the top,...

I'm ready to break out into "Walk On", but maybe "Another One Bites the Dust" would be more appropos.

[incredulous joe]

"Talk about being depressed and down in the dumps"

I think you meant to say "compressed".

[skinkinthegrass]

A garbage pickup was made at the prison Wednesday morning.
