Bandits Break Into Prison, Rob Inmates Friday August 6 8:29 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com SAO PAULO (Reuters) - If the prisoners at the Tremembe jail needed an extra reminder that crime doesn't pay, they got it early Thursday when bandits ran off with their hard-earned savings. Four men toting machine guns overpowered guards and busted into the low-security jail to steal money that prisoners were sending home for Father's Day Sunday, the director said. ''Bandits robbing convicts is just appalling,'' said director Carlos Corade. ''There are no more values left among them.'' Corade said the gang took a suitcase holding around 50,000 reais ($28,000) in cash the 416 prisoners had earned in jobs inside and outside the jail. ''Money is money ... there are not too many places to rob,'' said a police officer in Tremembe, a town of 33,000 located 100 miles (150 kilometers) north of Sao Paulo.
