Michael Lewis and Joseph Spring were both found missing during Monday morning’s headcount at the Raymond Detention Center, according to the sheriff's office in Hinds County, which encompasses Jackson.
It was not immediately clear how they escaped. The sheriff's office said there was a "breach in the facility."
