A North Carolina inmate’s elaborate plan to blow up a jail for his grand escape was thwarted after he mailed details of the plot to the wrong person, cops said. The woman reported the letter to authorities, who later found more evidence in Castorina’s cell and recorded phone conversations that he was planning the bombing and escape. Officials said the letter helped thwart a plot that would have injured inmates, government officials and jail staff. Castorina was arrested in the kidnapping and murder of Harold Simpson, whose remains were discovered in August 2017. Castorina attempted to escape from the jail’s annex unit earlier this year.
