Five inmates who escaped by removing sink and climbing through wall are back in jail

Five inmates who escaped jail by removing a sink and climbing through a wall have been returned to jail.

The prisoners managed to flee St. Francois County Jail in Farmington, Missouri, US on January 17 after making their way into a cell that was supposed to be closed off due to plumbing repairs.

Chief Sheriff's Deputy Gregory Armstrong said the inmates removed the sink and toilet, climbed through the wall and made it down from the roof using a ladder that a builder had left standing against the jail.
