Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly.

Geocache Description:

This cache is suitable for all ages, and is a mystery cache. Some portions of the cache are best completed utilizing only a single member of a caching team. This cache is located on private property with permission from the property owner. There are two types of cells at the jail: Delivery Cells (open cell for dropping bugs) and Detention Cells (locked cells that need a jail break). Multiple jail breaks are expected and encouraged. Come once, get 'em all.

**********THE INFAMOUS TRAVEL BUG JAIL (I.T.B.J.)**********

This cache was created to maintain peace throughout the caching world due to the Infamous Travel Bug Prison being decommissioned. Travel Bug owners who have seen bugs sent to The I.T.B.P. (GCG1ZA) (visit link) can rest assured THE WARDEN and THE SHERIFFS are still running a tight ship in a new location. This cache was meant to interact with the I.T.B.P., and is part of the criminal/prison theme. However, the I.T.B.P. has been closed due to Geocaching rules and concerns, so now this is the last place we have to rehabilitate these little guys.

Premise: Jails are more easily accessed than prisons, and are generally located in middle of a populated area. This is the case for The I.T.B.J., hence the rating. As with every jail, these prisoners are detained behind steel doors with locking mechanisms to raise the level of safety for the general public, those working the jail from day to day, and the inmate population. The Travel Bugs that are suspected of a crime will remain in a jail cell until they are either freed with a jail break, or they receive a verdict and sentence from Judge TB. Judge TB's record shows that most of the Travel Bugs arrested are sentenced to do time at the I.T.B.P., so jail breaks are probably the best chance of freedom for these guys. Now without the I.T.B.P, some will be sentenced to jail time and some may be sentenced to worse….. Judge TB, though not well known now, will probably become as famous as Judge Isaac Parker.

How to Perform a Jail Break: The following are all suggestions, and creative thinking is always encouraged. To perform a successful jail break, it is advised to park close to the jail, but not close enough to draw attention to ones self. Always be on the look out for nearby residents because these are the people most likely to recognize something out of the ordinary. Next proceed to the jail on foot to survey the terrain, and get the cell number of which inmate(s) you would like to free. Next, you will need a combination for the lock that seals the door of your inmate(s). This is where the challenge begins, and more detail is provided on the sheests inside the log cell (lower left hand cell). Jail breaks are not for the faint of heart, and these are also meant to bring to life the feeling of an actual jail break. Bring your intestinal fortitude and focus because THE WARDEN, THE SHERIFFS, and THE DEPUTY have plenty of security to make sure the inmates stay put.
