Expecting convict escapes prison

SERANG, West Java: Juman bin Marwan, 37, a detainee at the
Serang correction unit fled to his village in Ciomas when he
heard his wife was going into labor.

Antara reported Saturday that he escaped Wednesday to see the
birth of his second child, only 11 days before he was scheduled
to end his sentence of four months.

Juman was charged with stealing a mat, plates and other items
from a mosque in Serang.

Sukanto, the chief warden, said he was quite surprised as
Juman was already undergoing the assimilation process. He was
assigned to sweep the yard outside the prison walls when he
escaped.

Juman was not found at his house and is still being sought.
