STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- An alleged Lucchese soldier planned to escape federal jail with the help of some unusual tools: Kool-Aid, dental floss and a high-fiber diet, according to the New York Times.

Christopher Londonio, 45, of the Bronx, started plotting his escape while awaiting trial in a 2013 murder case, according to the published report.

Londonio was planning on using dental floss to cut through the glass of his cell, which his mother smuggled into Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, and a diamond-tipped hacksaw blade to remove the steel guarding in front of the window that he was able to get through a sympathetic priest, according to the Times.

But in order to be able to fit through the home-made hole, Londonio figured he needed to lose weight -- hence a diet high in fiber and an exercise-regiment of plenty of sit ups, the Times wrote.

The thoroughly-planned escaped was detailed in an FBI report first obtained by Jerry Capeci of Gang Land News, the Times wrote.
