Welcome to Lawsuit City

Hume last night: [1]

An inmate in the Pueblo County, Colorado jail who was injured during his second escape, is suing the county and several officials because the jail was not secure enough to prevent him from breaking out.

A local TV station reports Scott Anthony Gomez Jr. says he told the sheriff after his first brief escape that security was weak. But no improvements were made, so he tried it again. He says the cell doors in his maximum security wing were easy to open and he was able to loosen a tile in a shower ceiling because a guard did not check on him for an hour.

Gomez climbed through the ceiling, but then fell 40-feet while trying to scale the outside wall.

I wonder if the solution here isn’t being shot while trying to escape.
