Gang Leader Dresses As Daughter In Jail Escape Bid [Video]

A Brazilian gang leader who was in jail dressed as his daughter in an attempt to escape from jail.

When his 19-year-old daughter visited him, Clauvino da Silva, also known as "Shorty," had a plan. He was to dress up as his daughter, leave her in there(!), and walk out of the front door.

But this wasn't just putting on clothes and a wig. In full Scooby Doo fashion, this dude put a rubber mask on to help try to fool the jail workers. And he woulda got away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling cops!

Actually, what gave him away was his nerves! Officials say he appeared nervous, so that caused them to check out what was really going on.

Silva, dressed in the rubber mask, long dark-haired wig, wearing tight jeans and a pink shirt with a cartoon image of donuts, was then videoed taking off his costume.
