Australian police rearrest running (away from) prisoner in stolen car

Australian police said on Wednesday a prisoner, who escaped Australia's highest security prison by tying bedsheets together, has been caught after a car chase.

Stephen Jamieson, 28, serving 12 years for armed (crime of taking things by force), made his jailbreak in broad daylight on Tuesday from the prison in Goulburn in New South Wales about 160 kilometres South-West of Sydney.


Jamieson threw the tied sheets over a five-metre-high wall and climbed over, a pillow tied to his stomach helped him get over the sharp-spiked wire, police said.

Police said Jamieson was spotted 12 hours later, 20 kilometres away in a stolen car and arrested early Wednesday after a dramatic 100 kilometre police chase.

Embarrassed prison people in charge have launched a question (or investigation) into how Jamieson could make such a shockingly bold classic escape from Australia's highest security prison, which holds killers (who kill one person after another), terrorists and other criminals.
