Let’s call 2015 the Year of the Mind-Boggling Prison Escape.<\/p>\n

Two men broke out of a New York maximum-security lockup a few weeks ago. They were the first escapees ever in the century-old prison. One of them was shot to death; the other was captured and has been returned to prison.<\/p>\n

Now comes the escape of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman from a maximum-security prison in Mexico.<\/p>\n

This one might be even more amazing.<\/p>\n

Guzman has busted out of the prison for the second time. <\/em>He is one of Mexico’s most notorious drug dealers. He’s very rich. He’s also very dangerous.<\/p>\n

Mexican authorities have been embarrassed in the extreme over this breakout. Guzman now becomes the most wanted man in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Just as the New York prisoners — Richard Matt and David Sweat — had help from the inside, it appears Guzman had similar help to enable him to dig a tunnel nearly a full mile from under his cell.<\/p>\n

Here’s a chance for the United States to lend its considerable intelligence and law enforcement capability to Mexico, which doesn’t really lack the resources. But this guy is a seriously bad dude.<\/p>\n

And the Mexican corrections establishment needs to do some ultra-serious examination of a system that enabled one of the world’s most heinous drug kingpins to escape this prison — again!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
