Ex-prisoner promises to work for others
A 28 year old law student David Driscoll escaped from Piedras Negras jail in Mexico and swam across the Rio Grande to reach the US. He returned to New Mexico after Maverick County authorities found no US charges against him and urged a prisoner exchange treaty with Mexico. He said the treaty could speed Senate and House action and help the about 600 Americans held in Mexico. He hinted at a pistol used in the escape but offered no confirmation. Mexican police noted multiple escapes from Piedras Negras in 29 months.
