ELIZABETH, New Jersey (AP) -- Two inmates escaped from a county jail, hiding the holes they made in the walls by putting up photos of bikini-clad women, officials said.

Authorities searched over the weekend for Jose Espinosa, who was awaiting sentencing for manslaughter, and Otis Blunt, who was facing robbery and other charges. They also launched a review of jail security.

The two got out of the Union County jail Saturday evening. The county prosecutor's office said the two apparently removed cement blocks from two walls, squeezed through the openings, jumped to a rooftop below and then made it over a 25-foot-high fence. The section they escaped from was supposed to be the most secure area of the facility.

"I'm extremely disturbed that a jail with the capability of security it has would foster a breach of this nature," County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Monday's editions.

Espinosa, 20, an alleged gang member, was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to manslaughter in a 2005 drive-by shooting in Elizabeth. Blunt, 32, was awaiting trial on charges of robbery and weapons offenses.

The men helped cover up the break by placing dummies under their bed blankets, and hiding the wall holes with magazine photos of women in bikinis, authorities said

Geee, these guys must have watched The Shawshank Redemption!

That's what I was thinking.. Rita Hayworth, anyone?

LOL, well it was one of the most brilliant jail breaks in movie history, stands to reason that someone would learn from it!

It reminded me of the most funniest line in the movie by the warden before he threw the pebble at the Rita Hayworth poster. "He couldn't of dissappeared like a f*rt in the wind!"

Wow im feeling alot safer now...

LOL, yeah, really. You would think that the jails would have watched that movie and taken precautions. It wasn't far fetched in the movie, and obviously it isn't far fetched in real life.

wasnt that from a movie. the hiding the escape hole bit behind a cutie pic
