You gotta take your chance when you get it!
Forty prisoners escaped and were on the loose in the British Virgin Islands during Hurricane Irma, according to Cabinet notes spotted by a photographer.
These notes, accidentally leaked to the press, say: "We are working with St Lucia and BVI authorities to secure the transfer to St Lucia of 40 high-risk prisoners that have escaped in BVI".

One British expat claimed a prison was blown open on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, which she managed to escape before Irma unleashed destruction. She claims her partner carries a knife for safety due to the looting.
Her marine engineer partner Leo Whitting, 38, stayed behind - but after seeing images of the awesome power of the storm Ms Knight said she thought he had died.
