AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. - A prison inmate due to be released Thursday after serving a drug sentence never made it to freedom because he asked friends to bring illegal narcotics when they picked him up, officials said.

Wesley Jason Wayland, 35, was arrested Thursday at the Airway Heights Corrections Center and faces new drug counts.

Wayland was finished serving time for drug possession and bail jumping in Benton County. But prison officials overheard him telling associates to bring drugs when they picked him up.

When two of his friends showed up at the prison, law enforcement officers were waiting.

Pamela Jean McCarthy, 32, of Richland, and Kerry S. Calhoun, 46, of Troutdale, Ore., arrived shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday in McCarthy's van.

Officers seized small quantities of marijuana and methamphetamine from the pair and arrested them.

Detectives also found a methamphetamine lab inside the van, and seized the vehicle.

Even if you add their ages together then divide by 2 to get their IQs, it still won't be as low as Mr. Wayland's.

Unbelievable, simply unbelievable.

Not necessarily. You have to remember, these inmates are usually not in prison for being terribly smart.
