Chi-Town Bank Robber Caught!

Joseph "Jose" Banks isn't one of the smartest ones! He and Kenneth Conley broke out of a federal prison in Chicago. Banks was caught after being spotted in Chicago. Conley still on the loose. These two will face heavy time for escaping a federal prison.

You've escaped from a federal prison for bank robbery. You're likely going to an ADMAX prison.

Joseph "Jose" Banks was one of two bank robbers escaped out of a Chicago federal prison this week.

He was caught without incident yesterday night. The other bank robber Kenneth Conley may still be in the area.

Conley is known to check out strip clubs so the feds are looking within the three states for Conley. Conley could be tripped up by a decoy prostitute. He will likely change his appearance so no one would find him.

It's highly unlikely he'll leave the United States. The U.S. Marshals and FBI are actively checking airports and train stations. So the best thing for him is to give it up! There's no way for him to elude law enforcement.

Law enforcement officials left a host of questions unanswered, including how the men could collect about 200 feet of bed sheets and what they might have used to break through the wall of the federal facility.

Banks, known as the Second-Hand Bandit because he wore used clothes during his heists, was convicted last week of robbing two banks and attempting to rob two others. Authorities say he stole almost $600,000, and most of that still is missing.
Kenneth Conley is still on the loose. It's likely he'll be caught because of his unusual slip ups!
During trial, he had to be restrained because he threatened to walk out of the courtroom. He acted as his own attorney and verbally sparred with the prosecutor, at times arguing that U.S. law didn't apply to him because he was a sovereign citizen of a group that was above state and federal law.

Conley pleaded guilty last October to robbing a Homewood Bank last year of nearly $4,000. Conley, who worked at the time at a suburban strip club, wore a coat and tie when he robbed the bank and had a gun stuffed in his waistband.

Since they've committed bank robbery, it's likely the pair were facing up to 25 years in prison. But since they've escaped from a federal prison, a level 2 violation, they'll add on over 10 years for escape. It will likely put them in a Supermax prison. The closest ADMAX prison is in Terre Haute, Indiana. Depending on how violent the criminals are they'll be in Florence ADMAX, the only prison where the most dangerous criminals are.

They broke out of prison last week and used a makeshift rope out of sheets. The escape went unnoticed for hours, with surveillance video from a nearby street showing the two hopping into a cab shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday. They had changed out of their orange jail-issued jumpsuits. Now of course heads will roll for that.

If prison guards were to allow this to happen, they'll immediately be fired and likely charged in aiding their escape. Simply the most stupidest thing to do is break out of prison. If you're that smart, you've been on a plane out of the country. But since these idiots didn't have a plan post breakout, they'll be caught.
