4 prison inmates escape Kan. jail after transfer

(AP) ? Four inmates escaped early Wednesday from a north-central Kansas jail where they were transferred because of overcrowding at the state prison, and three of the men ? including a convicted murderer ? remained on the loose by midday. The four men who escaped were among 22 inmates transferred to the jail in January from the Ellsworth Correctional Facility to help alleviate prison overcrowding, which has been a prickly issue in Kansas in recent years. Sheriff's officials declined to say how the men broke out, but said about two dozen troopers along with a canine unit and airplane are involved in the search. James was convicted of aggravated robbery, burglary, kidnapping and criminal damage charges across three counties for crimes in February 2008, while Wade was convicted of robbery and aggravated battery, according to online prison records. Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed using revenue from state-owned casinos to reopen a prison facility that was closed because of budget restraints in 2009.
