http://www.wral.com/news/strange/story/9919704/ TAVARES, Fla. — Authorities say an inmate at a central Florida jail used a glitch in the facility's phone system to bond himself out. The Lake County Sheriff's Office says 32-year-old Larry Stone discovered the glitch earlier this month. The phone system charges inmate accounts for calls but refunds the money if the call doesn't go through. But the system was reimbursing inmates twice for incomplete calls. Authorities say Stone repeatedly made calls and hung up until he had more than $1,250 — enough to bond out of jail. Stone had been arrested in April on property-crime charges. Stone was only free for a few hours before he was re-arrested. Officials became suspicious when other inmates tried copying the trick. The software error has been fixed and accounts restored to their previous totals. |

You've "got to give him credit", that was pretty creative. Is that how pretrial release works? |

Back in the Days in NYC @ Brooklyn Central Booking the defendant's found a way to break the metal coil cover below the phone mouth piece & handle and gain access to the wires going into the Handset and by crossing a wire with another gave them access to free phone calls which I guess duped the pay phone into thinking that Money was deposited into the coin slot.. I always wondered why I saw broken Coil Covers on the lines to the handsets.. Street criminals are very smart and innovative and always find ways to beat the system all the time .. never under estimate them.. |

For what crime was he re-arrested for? If anybody should have been arrested, it should have been the computer programmer. lol. |
