But ... They were TRUSTWORTHY criminals

From Drudge:

Prison inmates escape
The man accused in the kidnapping plot of late-night talk show host David Letterman’s infant son escaped along with another inmate from Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge Friday afternoon.

Authorities are looking for Kelly Allen Frank, 45, and John Willcutt, 22, who were discovered missing around 4:20 p.m.

Frank was arrested in an alleged 2005 plot to abduct CBS Late Show host David Letterman’s son and the child’s nanny in Teton County. That charge was later dismissed and Frank was sentenced to 10 years in state prison on a lesser charge for overcharging the talk show host for painting work at his ranch.

The inmates, who were outside the prison on a work detail at the time, may have used a prison vehicle to escape from the prison grounds, according to Warden Mike Mahoney.

Willcutt was first reported missing by a supervisor about 4:20 p.m. After instituting a facility lockdown and counting inmates, prison officials also found Frank was missing. The missing inmates were working outside the prison fence under “indirect supervision” as part of a crew responsible for irrigating state-owned property located near the prison.

2 - See -- the thing that makes jail work so well is the "supervising" part.
3 - LET THEM OUT WITHOUT SUPERVISION? - What could happen?
