<p>Two inmates in the US state of Virginia managed to achieve freedom for a few hours and taste delicious IHOP pancakes before being chauffeured back by the jail authorities. The incident transpired earlier this week in the Newport News Jail Annex when inmates John Garza, 37, and Arley Nemo, 43, took a leaf out of the movie Shawshank Redemption to chart their escape.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the Newport News Sheriff's Office (NNSO), the inmates using 'primitive tools' managed to dig a hole in their cell wall and later scaled the prison wall to complete a daring escape. During the routine prisoners count check in the evening around 7 PM, the authorities realised that the two inmates were missing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The two men began to exploit a construction design weakness utilising primitive-made tools constructed from a toothbrush and metal object," informed the NNSO in a press release.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Those tools facilitated their access to untied rebars between the walls. Once gaining access to the rebar, they used it to further make their escape."</p>

<p>After escaping the prison, the two made their way to a nearby IHOP, located seven miles away in the town of Hampton. There, the duo opted to have a hearty dinner/breakfast of pancakes.&nbsp;</p>
