An inmate came up with a subtle way to escape from a Salford prison. He attempted to sneak out of Forest Bank in Agecoft by disguising himself as a teacher.
But the ploy was foiled by a sharp-eyed member of staff. It is understood the prisoner wore a hat similar to that belonging to a teacher in a bid to walk out of the jail.
A spokesperson for Sodexo which runs the prison confirmed that the attempt was stopped but did not give any futher details. The Manchester Evening News understands the prisoner was in an authorised area and tried to get through an internal gate. He was challenged in line with normal procedure and access was denied.
