Footage shows the inmate jammed head first in a giant hole covered head to toe in slimy human poop – lots and lots of it.

It would appear his genius Shawshank Redemption-style escape plot ended up going down the toilet.

In a nightmarish moment, the inmate could be seen wriggling and jiggling in a desperate attempt to squeeze Houdini-like through the toilet’s tunnels.

Eventually, he is yanked out by two men who struggle to grab hold of his slippery legs.

But more disturbingly a later shot shows him back behind bars – without the luxury of showering the poo slimed all over his legs, torso and head.

Few details are known about the escape bid or whether the lag managed not to catch some terrible disease.

However, it appears to have taken place somewhere around the Sao Paulo area in Brazil.

Cake, anyone?
