Mass jailbreak at dawn That reminds me!...has anyone seen Jeff lately? TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (Reuters) - Fifty-six convicts escaped from a jail in the south of the country early on Saturday, authorities said. "The moment they opened the doors the prisoners attacked the two guards with sticks and ran off toward the mountains," police sergeant Isidro Canales told Honduran radio reporters. "We have recaptured 13 and have launched a pursuit operation." The prisoners made their escape at 7:30 a.m. local time while taking out the garbage under the watch of two guards at the jail in Nacaome, about 65 miles south of the capital of Tegucigalpa and close to the El Salvador border. Riots, arson attacks and escape attempts plague Honduras' creaking penitentiary system. A month ago, 134 convicts broke out of a jail in the western city of Gracias after a violent uprising in which one inmate died and the prison was burned to rubble. Another 500 convicts escaped in August. Even interior ministry officials describe Honduras's jails as "branches of hell" notorious for poor hygiene, hunger and corruption. Some 10,300 people are currently behind bars -- 5,000 more than capacity -- and a legal system unable to cope with the mountain of cases means 90 percent still await sentencing. ^REUTERS@
