152 inmates managed to escape from the Professor Noe Azevedo prison in Bauru, Brazil on Tuesday, after setting fire to three pavilions of the compound. Police recaptured around 90 of the jail-breakers while the rest remain at large. Inmates set fire to mattresses in an organized effort of arson, which helped them distract prison staff and escape. Military police advised local residents to stay indoors and vehicle drivers to steer clear of the Bauru-Marilia highway and United Nations Avenue, to avoid encounters with escapees.
The two New York prison escapees who sparked a massive manhunt this month had planned to go to Mexico after they fled the maximum-security prison on June 6, according to one of the escapees, David Sweat.
The second New York prison guard arrested for aiding the escape of two convicted murderers has admitted smuggling tools into the prison in exchange for artwork by one of the prisoners.
As the manhunt for the New York prison escapees enters day nine, Joyce Mitchell, the prison worker who helped them escape, confessed she was supposed to drive them for seven hours at night to a predetermined location, Clinton District Attorney Andrew Wylie was quoted by CNN as saying.
