Thirteen teenage inmates who were allegedly drug dealers and members of a crime syndicate are now free and will face more charges.

Three teenagers, aged 15-17, escaped from the Henley-Young-Patton Juvenile Justice Center in Hinds County, Mississippi and were captured after a four-day manhunt. The escapees had previously faced charges for armed robbery, auto theft, aggravated assault, and first-degree murder. They were considered "armed and dangerous" and were involved in carjackings and other criminal activities following their escape. This is the second escape from the facility in recent months. Several agencies, including the Adams County Sheriff's Office, worked together to locate and apprehend the teens, who will now face additional charges for their escape.
