(St. Lucia News Online) — Two prisoners are still on the run following a daring escape from the Bordelais Correctional Facility (BCF) on Saturday around 6 p.m., according to law enforcement sources.
Four other prisoners who had escaped were recaptured shortly after, in the vicinity of the facility.

Following the escape of the prisoners, a riot broke out in the facility, officials said.

There were no reports of injuries.
The prison is currently on lockdown.
