Daily News | What we know about the men who escaped from a Philly jail
Two men, including one charged with four homicides, escaped from the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center Sunday night — and it went unnoticed for almost an entire day, prison officials said.
After Hurst was arrested, police also connected him to two robberies. He was charged with robbery, illegal gun possession, conspiracy and related offenses in those cases.Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore described Hurst as “a very dangerous individual,” and said, “We are looking for the public’s help to get him back.
That unit was unstaffed Sunday evening, said David Robinson, president of Local 159 of AFSCME District Council 33, the correctional officers’ union. But according to Robinson, two critical posts outside — the armed perimeter patrol and an armed post at the gate to the back road, known as Post 13 — were also unstaffed, and the two men escaped undetected.
Two former prison officials said there should have been at least four inmate counts between the time the men escaped and when the prison went on lockdown Monday afternoon. Carney said the counts were conducted, though it’s unclear how the absence of the two men went undetected.
