A woman took a wrong turn as she was being freed from jail, becoming trapped for two-and-a-half days in a stairwell before prison staff finally discovered her, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The unnamed woman had been arrested and was being released on June 5 at around 8 a.m., when she failed to follow instructions on how to exit the St. Louis Justice Center, Commissioner Dale Glass told the Post-Dispatch.
