CHICAGO, IL - DECEMBER 18: A rope protrudes from a window opening outside the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in the Loop after two convicted bank robbers escaped on December 18, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. Joseph "Jose" Banks and Ken Conley appear to have busted away concrete to enlarge a window opening then climbed down about 16 stories on the makeshift ropes to make their escape. Banks, known as the Second-Hand Bandit, was convicted last week of two bank robberies and two attempted robberies where he made off with a nearly $600,000, $500,000 of which is still unaccounted for. Conley was convicted of robbing nearly $4,000 from a bank last year. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
