At least 150 inmates are still on the run after a mass prison breakout in Haiti on Saturday, from Arcahaie jail, north of the capital Port-au-Prince. Two guards and three inmates died during the jailbreak. Some 170 inmates escaped. Security forces say they have recaptured 10 prisoners and are investigating whether prison guards were involved. A manhunt to capture remaining inmates is being spearheaded by Haitian police. Haiti’s Justice Minister told the press that the alleged mastermind of the prison break – a convicted kidnapper – was one of the men captured. The Minister said the convict planned the escape from the inside with a few accomplices.
