Daily News | A 21-year-old woman helped set up the Philly jailbreak and has been charged, police say
A 21-year-old woman has been charged for helping coordinate the escape of two prisoners from a Philadelphia jail this week, authorities said.
Their disappearance from the jail went unnoticed by staff for nearly 19 hours, despite the fact that Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney said three body counts were performed during that time. The escape followed more than two years of warnings by prisoners, advocates and union officials of a growing crisis at the city’s jails, where nearly 4,400 people are held. Last week, the union representing officers announced a, saying the prisons are about 800 officers short, posing a public safety crisis.
Shortly after he was incarcerated in 2021, a law enforcement source said, Hurst proved surprisingly loose-lipped on calls he was making to relatives, seemingly unencumbered while discussing goings-on in the jail, and even the particulars about other crimes. Vanore declined to say if Hurst was the one who called Stallings, and did not specify what message she took from the person she talked to.
