A US prisoner used his flip-flop to escape from jail.

Deante Gholston, 20, - who was in prison on charges of armed robbery - managed to use the beach footwear to open his cell door and flee the Bibb County jail in Georgia, without staff noticing his disappearance.

Although the alarm sounded while the prisoner was leaving the cell but this didn't hinder his escape and he ran outside and climbed over the outer fence.

Gholston - who was temporarily staying in a holding - was found in a nearby apartment the next day, recaptured and now faces a charge of escape as well.

The sheriff's office is conducting a disciplinary investigation but has blamed a defective lock, overcrowding and staff shortage for the escape.
