Foiled jail-break for gang leader dressed up as daughter

A Brazilian inmate has been caught trying to escape from prison by pretending to be his teenage daughter when she visited him behind bars. Gang leader Clauvino da Silva, also known as ‘Shorty’, tried to leave the prison in Rio de Janeiro dressed in her clothes and wearing a silicon girl’s mask and long dark-haired wig, but his nervousness gave him away, prison officials said. His plan was apparently to leave his 19-year-old daughter inside the jail. Officials released a video in which da Silva can be seen removing the mask and some of the clothes.
