He continued growing. And, unfortunately, he’d lacked the musculoskeletal system to support his body. He’d grown outside of his natural frame. His spine began curving and his joints didn’t function correctly.

Claudio da Silva was a drug dealer serving a sentence of 73 years and 10 months in Bangu Prison, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

According to prison authorities, his escape plan was to have his 19-year-old daughter visit the prison, then disguise himself as her and finally leave her behind in his place. It seems he had been helped by partners, including his daughter. The only and bright plan they found was to help him look like a woman.

So he got special outfits like a mask, a long black wig, women clothes, bra, glasses. While visiting hours were ending, Claudio tried to leave the prison, but the suspicious guards decided to know more about this "strange woman".

Thus, he didn't fulfill his dream of freedom as they easily caught him mainly because they found him very nervous. Policemen even released a video of him while dressing up.

Eight people including his daughter were arrested in this case.
