UNIONTOWN, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say two state prisoners who
escaped from a private prison in Perry County apparently had
someone help them cut through three fences.
Dick Harbison, the vice president of Lafayette, La.-based LCS
Corrections Services, which owns and operates the prison, said
Thursday that authorities were still searching for the escapees.
They are 26-year-old Joshua Southwick and 22-year-old Ashton Mink.
The two escaped early Monday morning. Southwick was serving a
life sentence after pleading guilty to a 2003 murder-for-hire case
in Limestone County. Mink was serving time for an attempted murder
conviction in Madison County in 2005.
