Lewistown: Four prisoners escaped from the County prison in West Illinois and the authorities advised the residents of the area to stay locked in their homes when they were looking for Thursday for men.
Deputy Fulton County knew the escape on Wednesday night after one inmates lost from the cell block in prison in Lewistown, around 210 miles (338 kilometers) southwest of Chicago, said the authorities.
Then it was determined that the other three were also gone.
The authorities did not immediately say how people fled, but said that they must be considered armed and dangerous.
On Thursday morning, Jesse Davis, 35, Cody Villalobos, 26, Zachary Hart, 36, and Eugene Roys, 23, had not been arrested.
Davis was arrested on charges including ownership of metamfetamine and had weapons by criminals, while Villalobos faced charges including ownership of metamfetamine and deterred the police.
Hart was arrested on charges including the invasion of the house, had a firearm by criminals and escaped from the police, while Roels faced charges including ownership of metamfetamine and ownership of firearms by Felon.
