Convicts getting conjugal.

 

A county jail in Maine is revisiting security protocol after two inmates got away with getting it on. 

 

“The guy, Arien L’Italien, is interested in Karla Wilson. He is 23. She is 25. ... He sneaks out of his cell, crawls along his belly under four different security doors to get to her cell.”

 

And then — authorities say — they did the deed. In a maximum security facility. How? The Portland Daily Sun reports — officials at the jail do visual and welfare checks every 15 minutes at the facility. 

 

“The two inmates manipulated each of their cell doors in a way that gave the appearance both were closed, despite neither properly locking.”

 

The jailhouse love birds reportedly arranged the rendezvous by communicating through the ventilation system in the jail. 

 

According to the Bangor Daily News — L’Italien is a federal inmate in for a probation violation — and Wilson is currently awaiting trial four counts of gross sexual assault and two counts of aggravated assault.

 

Two of the doors L’Italien had to go through to get to the women’s cell block are kept open after inmates go to bed. But WLBZ reports — that’s about to change. Jail officials are revising the rules to make sure nothing like this happens again. 

 

“Corrections officers can’t afford to take any shortcuts. It seemed to be easier on the corrections officers, but no more being easier on them. The doors are there for a purpose.”
