2 Prisoners Escape From Correctional Center in Philadelphia, Police Say
Two prisoners escaped a correctional center in Philadelphia, including a teen who was accused of killing another man outside the same facility more than two years ago, investigators said.www.nbcphiladelphia.com
Philadelphia Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney said all prisoners were reported as accounted for when head counts were taken at 11 p.m. Sunday, 3 a.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Monday, despite Grant and Hurst escaping earlier Sunday evening.
It wasn't until a head count at 3 p.m. Monday when officials at the center realized Grant and Hurst had escaped, according to Carney. Surveillance video showed Grant and Hurst cutting a hole in the fence and escaping around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, police said.
The entire facility was placed on lockdown and all other inmates were accounted for, according to Carney. Philadelphia Police and U.S. Marshals were notified and are all involved in the investigation. Officials are also investigating the Center's handling of the incident.
