The Nation : Inmates Flee AIDS Unit

The search for three inmates who escaped from an AIDS unit at Trenton State Prison in Trenton, N.J., by scaling an 18-foot wall and cutting through a steel mesh roof covering a courtyard was expanded to New York and Pennsylvania. A fourth escapee was captured soon after the break-out over the weekend at the maximum-security facility. The escaped prisoners suffer from acquired immune deficiency syndrome, but are in various stages of remission, prison authorities said. Although officials said they did not know if the suspects were armed, they said the escapees should be considered dangerous.
