Inmate 'escapes prison – by pretending to be his cellmate who was due to be freed'

GETTY/GETTY DARING: The prisoner posed as his cellmate who was due for release

Cops were called to the prison after the 19-year-old inmate was mistakenly let go.
Officers say the daring detainee "altered his appearance to look like his cellmate".
He then reportedly stepped forward when officers came looking to release the other inmate.
The Ontario prisoner also allegedly threatened his cellmate – telling him to keep quiet when the officers came by.
