One of the inmates is described as a 'very dangerous individual.'
Headcounts conducted at 11 p.m. Sunday, 3 a.m. Monday, and 7 a.m. Monday reportedly showed that all prisoners were accounted for, said Philadelphia Prisons Department Commissioner Blanche Carney. The facility became aware of the escaped inmates at about 3 p.m. Monday, Carney said.
“We have protocols in place and those protocols were not followed,” Carney said. “That yard should have been secured, and the fence not breached.” Mayor Jim Kenney said at a news conference Monday evening that they want to find out exactly what happened.Hurst was arrested in March 2021. He’s accused of shooting and killing a man on Christmas Eve 2020, said Frank Vanore, Philadelphia police deputy commissioner of investigations. The other three shootings happened in March 2021.
“He’s a very dangerous individual from what we know, and we are looking for the public’s help to get him back,” Vanore said at the news conference. Grant was being held on conspiracy drug charges and conspiracy weapons charges, Blanche said. The inmates were housed in the same unit, but different cells, she said.
