A Venezuelan woman thought she hatched the perfect plan to get her boyfriend out of jail. But now, both her and her boyfriend are behind bars as a result of it.

Antoinette Robles Saouda, 25, was arrested recently after she attempted to break her boyfriend out of jail by stuffing him inside of a hot pink suitcase that she brought to prison while visiting him with her 6-year-old daughter. The plan was to bring the suitcase to the prison, let the boyfriend, identified as Ibrain Jose Vargas Garcia, contort his body and climb inside of it, and then sneak him out. And while Garcia was actually able to get himself inside of the suitcase without any issues, Saouda didn’t think her plan all the way through and it ended up getting both of them into big trouble.

As Saouda walked out of the prison, guards noticed that she was having trouble pushing her suitcase. That prompted them to inspect her bag and, when they did, they found Garcia curled up and covered with a bunch of his daughter’s toys. He was thrown back in jail, where he is currently serving a 10-year sentence for his role in a car robbery. And Saouda was thrown in jail as well, while the couple’s daughter was taken into custody by social services.

Oh, and it gets worse, too. In addition to foiling the couple's plan, the prison guards also snapped a photo of Garcia stuffed into the suitcase along with a photo of Garcia and Saouda standing handcuffed next to the suitcase. And if you look closely at Saouda’s face, you can almost see her thinking, "Why did I think that would work?!"

No word yet on how much jail time Saouda will face for her role in the failed prison bust, but it’s clear that the plan she and Garcia came up with was far from perfect.
