  1. It's a rare occurrence but hopefully they find these two individuals

  2. I bet they were hungry.They will be back

  3. They got some inside help. It's easy to evade police in Philly. Just camp in Kensington Ave. Cops are afraid to go there lol.

  4. The food must have been terrible

  5. So is this the beginning of a new trend.. "inmates being able to escape prison".. see you have to ask these things these days

  6. Now remember everyone, Desantis wants to build a prison next to a family friendly park, now imagine if that prison had a massive break out.

  7. Just seen them in mexico 🇲🇽 😂

  8. Why not have the fence electrified?

  9. Why do the crime, and now try escaping?

  10. All on the run ducking, hiding in bushes, . 😂😂😂

  11. 😂hmmm… 😂😂

  12. Hope they never get caught…..

  13. I live in Philadelphia 🤣 theres shootings and homicides daily these guys are just regular citizens at this point

  14. If they’re smart they would blend in with the homeless addicts in the streets of Philly and scratch off they tats

  15. Get past one yard fence and you're out?… Dang. What kind of life can a person expect to live constantly on the run? It's not the 1600's Wild West. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  16. Sounds like correction officers aided in some way🙄💯💥💯

  17. They obviously attended prison movie night which featured The Shawshank Redemption.

  18. Doesn't look too difficult to escape from. Like from Idiocracy. Maybe he just wants to party and be back in time for dinner.

  19. Its obviously an inside job if they checked them off as not missing 3 times before it was reported. Once might be believable but 3 times? That doesnt happen without money exchanging hands.

  20. Terrible estamos igual ehhh, inseguridad total por todos lados

  21. Spending millions on Prisoners is one of the biggest waste of tax payer dollars ever. They're housed in million dollar facilities and get great health care better than a lot of folks that aren't in Prison and to top that off you get stories like this of prisoners escaping these un escapable prisons.

  22. Call dog bounty hunter 😂

  23. Maybe they will have some sense and head over to the White House and create another ¨insurrection¨.

  24. Jeez. If it's not shootings, it's prison breaks what in the literal f.

  25. Heads should roll, starting from the top.

  26. Just wait until these escapees spend some time out and see what Biden had done to this nation! They will be begging to go back in the slammer.

  27. They snuck out in my fart box, could've fitted another dude probably

  28. Electrify the fencing. And, double check the pizza delivery guy leaving the prison.
