JACKSON, Miss.- At least four inmates escaped from the jail in downtown Jackson early Thursday morning. The prisoners allegedly climbed out of one of the windows on the top floor using tied-together bed sheets. Officials are saying the window they escaped from had been damaged.
The four that are on the run are 17-year-old Tyree Bailey, who had been in for armed robbery since November, 17-year-old Kevin Holmes, who had been in for armed robbery since May, 16-year-old Cornelius Carter who had been in for aggravated assault on a police officer since March, and 16-year-old Airick Toins, who had been in for aggravated assault since January.
The sheets were still hanging out of the window Thursday morning.
