inch-long rubber hose stuck into
a jailhouse window.
Gravity and the police broke
up the party Tuesday.
Authorities at the Bridgeport
Correctional Center said they
found Joseph Mauro, 16, and
Albert Rodriguez, 26, outside a
first-floor window on the east
wing of the facility, standing
next to a jug of wine and a bot-
tle of liquor.
Protruding through the win-
dow was the rubber hose,
through which an inmate inside
the jail was trying to suck up
the liquids.
Warden Jose Santos said the
unnamed inmate would have
needed "a lot of suction" to get
any of the booze.
Authorities charged M a u r o

unauthorized materials into a
correction center."

Scott said the President has

poor people of this nation."
