Up, up and away to jail

Looks like Richard Heene, the Colorado balloon boy hoaxer, will be spending Xmas behind bars. He just got hit with 90 days in jail and 4 years probation. I have an idea how he can escape.
He gets his family or friends to land his balloon in the prison yard. If the guards notice the dirigible landing and Heene making his way to it, he can just announce that he is about to go up in his hot air balloon. It should be a breeze as naturally none of the guards will believe him. The only problem is he will have to go through with his escape, as if he tells them he is about to ascend in the balloon and he does not, he will be charged breach of probation.
And as part of his 4 year probation he must serve 100 days/year doing community service. Can any of you figure out just what type of community service would be most suitable for this man? I can think of one possibility but then again I don’t know if going to the local Denver kiddie hospital and blowing up those animal shaped balloons is the best idea. If Heene has not gotten over his hoaxing urges, it may not be too long before rumours start spreading about little Joey Wiggly taking off in a runaway inflated hippo.
