SALEM — Miguel Caraballo once allegedly boasted that he would never return to prison.

With a 20-year minimum mandatory prison term for home invasion looming, as well as additional time for a federal probation violation, Caraballo saw an opportunity to make good on that boast, hatching an escape plan straight out of the movies.

Now the convicted felon, who once allegedly threatened to shoot it out with police, remains at large and hunted by law enforcement, after he eluded sheriff's deputies and shuffled into a waiting car behind Salem Superior Court yesterday morning.

At the wheel was an as-yet-unidentified woman, officials said.

Perfect. Let him shoot out out with the deputies. Unless he has a bullet proof vest and a semi automatic with amour piercing bullets, this is a good plan. Let the cops take him down and save the space.

After reading the article, it’s amazing the security was so relaxed.

The convict and his moll should both have been killed on the spot.

A FUBAR that should NEVER have happened.

Where there’s a poor security location, the prisoners are chained together, and no one gets unlocked until they’re all in a secure place indoors, leg shackles or not. This has been a security issue for some time. Rank stupidity that it wasn’t handled before this. But I guess they’re going to talk about it some more, as per the article. /s

I think Caraballo is in real danger of having his probation extended again. /s
