<p>Authorities in North Carolina said a man jailed on a first-degree murder charge had an explosive escape plan.<br />Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson says 43-year-old Sean Damion Castorina sent a letter from jail containing bomb-making instructions. <br />The sheriff says Castorina wanted two men to place the bomb on the Alamance County Jail&#8217;s south side, blowing a hole in the wall and allowing him to escape.</p>

<p>The conspirators, Shannon Douglas Gurkin, 23, of Graham, and Dakota Lee Marek of Burlington, NC, each are charged with malicious use of an explosive to damage property. <br />Gurkin, 23, and Marek, 24, were jailed at the same time with Castorina who recruited them into his scheme.<br />Sheriff Johnson believes that the three men became connected through their political views as anarchists.<br />&#8216;I think these individuals were followers of Castorina,&#8217; Johnson said of Gurkin and Marek. <br />Fortunately for the sheriff, that letter went to the wrong address. <br />The recipient opened the letter and found the jail&#8217;s building plans and the instructions to place an explosive on the wall to create a breach for Castorina&#8217;s. <br />The resident of the incorrect address alerted authorities.</p>
