Two inmates escaped from a county jail, hiding the holes they made in the walls by putting up photos of bikini-clad women, officials said.

The men helped cover up the break by placing dummies under their bed blankets, and hiding the wall holes with magazine photos of women in bikinis, authorities said.

Is it just me or isnt this the EXACT same escape plan from "The Shawshank Redemption"?

Yeah, that's what I thought too when I read it. I was surprised they didn't mention that at all in the news story.

Does this serve to answer the question as to whether art imitates life or life imitates art?

Well that area of the jail couldn't have been TOO secure seeing as how they were able to acquire the tools to remove cement blocks from the wall and make dummies to fool the guards.
