Wardens must get really pissed when prisoners escape. It’s a complete failure of their most important task: Keep the prisoners in prison.

So imagine how chapped/worried the warden at an Argentinian jail was informed prisoners slipped by the FAKE TOWER GUARD:

Two prisoners have escaped from a jail in Argentina, reportedly while it was using a dummy to man one of its guard towers. Prison staff said a lack of resources meant that only two out of their 15 guard towers were occupied at any given time. They told a local newspaper they put a football with a prison officer’s cap in a third, to create the illusion of an extra guard.

Whoever thought a football with a hat on it would serve as security for a compound full of people who clearly don’t adhere to rules is probably going to be looking for a new job soon. And for some reason, I feel like occupational hazards like that carry far heavier consequences in Argentina…

Talk about a complete meltdown of responsibility. What if a chef prepared all the ingredients and put it on a plate without actually cooking the food? Unless that chef is a sushi chef, I think there’d be a big problem with that.

At least they had a sense of humor about it (before hand): They called the fake guard “Wilson” — inspired by Tom Cruise’s island mate in Castaway.
