Mexican Jailbirds Walked Out the Front Door

Only three of the 131 inmates who escaped have been recaptured

The 131 Mexican inmates who fled jail this week escaped through the front door, not a tunnel as was previously reported, local officials say.

The officials in Coahuila state, near the US border, said guards and a drug cartel had helped the inmates.

The prison's director and other officials in the city of Piedras Negras have now been detained.
