Jailbird Ingenuity
Marc Steinmetz has a gallery of improvised escape tools used by prison inmates. From the classic bed sheet and tea towel rope, as used in a 1998 bid to escape Hamburg’s ‘Santa Fu’ jail, to more adventurous construction projects, such as radio transmitters, pistols and this shotgun made from bedposts.
The collection also features tools for the making of moonshine and toast.
The gun made out of cardboard looks pretty good.
