132 Inmates Escape Mexican Prison

One hundred and thirty-two prisoners escaped from the prison in Piedras Negras, which is near the Texan border.

The inmates had dug a nine foot tall tunnel, that ran for nearly thirty feet, from the carpentry shop to outside the fence.

Mexican authorities have arrested the prison director and two members of his staff whilst the incident is investigated.

In Mexico, a massive manhunt is under way, and US police and border guards are doing their best to ensure that none of the escapees make it across the border.

A reward of two hundred thousand pesos, or $15,600, has been offered for the capture of each prisoner.
