Ronald Silva, Prisoner Dressed In Drag, Attempts Prison Break

He thought jail was a real drag.

Brazilian prisoner and alleged drug trafficker Ronaldo Silva recently attempted to escaped his lockup in his wife's clothing.

Silva, 39, allegedly shaved his arms and legs, dolled up his face and threw on a wig before waltzing out of Penedo prison, unnoticed by guards inside, the Mirror reported.

However, there's more to being a woman than a bra and panties. This guy couldn't carry himself in heels. A cop noticed Silva walking strangely less than an hour later on the street and collared him on the spot.

"He was wearing a wig, painted false nails and a long dress," Jail director Carlos Welber told The Sun. "He'd spent a long time shaving his legs and arms. There was a lot of preparation and premeditation involved in this."

The result is a shocking before-and-after mugshot, in which Silva can be seen wearing a pretty blue dress, lipstick and a wig.

She's a real beaut!

Welber said that Silva's wife had exchanged clothing with him during a visit, but reportedly claimed that she had no idea why her hubby wanted to cross dress.

Silva had already been awaiting trial for drug trafficking, and was transferred to the prison after another attempt to escape jail, according to Hispanically Speaking News. In that case, Silva allegedly had armed men invade the jail to break him out.

Wife exchanged clothes with him during a prison visit,and didn't know what he was going to do with them ? Just take a wild guess .Oh ,that must be why he wanted my lipstick,eye shadow ,fake eyelashes,and a box of sanitary napkins .

Apparently his 5 o'clock shadow wasn't the first indication to the cop that it was a man.

Wasn't something exactly like this just on that show Locked Up Abroad? That guy did the same exact thing, but he got away. I wonder if this "guy" saw the show a couple of weeks ago and decided to go with it??

To paraphrase Aerosmith: 'This dude does NOT look like a lady!' Homely as a guy, but in drag he reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield's description of an unfortunate blind date: "A two-bagger. You have to wear a bag over your face in case the one over her face breaks...."

I can't say I blame the guy for trying if the guards are this dense.....I bet next time he goes with flats.
