CHICAGO — A Cook County jail inmate is facing additional felony charges for crafting a knife out of metal wires he removed from COVID masks, officials said Friday.
During a conversation early in the pandemic, a jail employee explained the challenges of fighting the virus: “If we give [inmates] bar soap, they make weapons out of it. If we give them liquid soap, they drink it. If we give them hand sanitizer, they set it on fire.”
But Terry Sturgis, a 25-year-old who’s been in jail since January on gun charges, may be the first to think about alternate uses for the metal bands that hold COVID masks tight to the nose.

Asked about the item, Sturgis told officials he was “only going to use it to stitch up his pants for court,” Devitt said.

Sturgis entered the jail on January 23 after CTA surveillance officers allegedly saw him adjusting a gun in his waistband as he exited a Red Line train at 79th Street. He had another gun case pending at the time.

I would give prisoners oatmeal and mashed potatoes.
No other food.
No medical care. (that means no medical care ever)
No dental care.
Give them nothing.
Take from them everything.
Make prison a bad place.
utter bs

I made an assault rifle from a paper cup!!
That’s nothing! The ATF put 2 guys in jail saying a metal card was a machine gun! Dead serious.

That’s not right-and fault his is a jail where he is held pending trial, obvious offender or not he isn’t convicted
While a minority there are people unjustly jailed all the time
The prison system needs to be re-thought and likely eliminated other than a shot at rehab for first time offenders in limited circumstances -the types that are serving long sentences for repeat or violent offenses should be executed or deported and exiled on pain of death if caught returning
It only took three years, but we may have finally found something those masks are good for.
Prison for MS-13 in El Salvador
Cells accommodate 100 prisoners with 80 cots.
You can thank liberals for most of it.......think about it, in what other country do you see people fight to keep a prison inmate from being executed even when they state they WANT to be put to death and at the same time fight for the right to kill millions of unborn children?.......total insanity. SMH
I don’t know about this. I think it shows that this guy is pretty smart, which makes him a candidate for early release. Just like the prisoner who made an escape rope out of dental floss.
hell, they want to classify my finger as a machine gun!
at least someone found a use for covid masks.
I second that vote
I made a gun from a bar of soap. I would have escaped if it didn’t rain.
100% agree. Prison should be a place nobody wants to be.
You don’t think wires can be made into a shank?
Don’t forget the belt loop.
Let me guess, your gun slipped out of your hand.
