PHILADELPHIA - A Pennsylvania non-profit organization claims it found several red flags during evaluations of Philadelphia's five prisons, days after city's first prison break in a decade.
Ameen Hurst, 18, and Nasir Grant, 24, sprung themselves free from the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center around 8:30 Sunday night, investigators said.
Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney told reporters the duo missed three headcounts before prison guards realized they were missing Monday afternoon.Sources tell FOX 29 that holding cell doors and a door to an outside recreation yard were left unlocked.
The inmates were able to walk out of a housing unit that was not directly manned from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday night due to understaffing, according to a source.
