Police still searching for missing inmates

TOPEKA — A day after four people escaped from a Kansas jail, two inmates are back in custody while the other two are still at large.
All of the inmates who were moved from the facility were moved back in Thursday, according to the Department of Corrections. The remaining 18 prison inmates who were being held in the Ottawa County Jail because of prison overcrowding have been returned to the state prison in Ellsworth, department spokesman Jeremy Barclay told The Associated Press exclusively.
Two of the four inmates who escaped were apprehended Wednesday, one after he turned himself in at a Walmart in Nebraska. The other two, 22-year-old inmates Santos Carrera-Morales and Eric James, remained missing Thursday, Carrera-Morales was convicted of first-degree murder in connection with two killings in 2007.
Barclay said the temporary decision was made after four inmates escaped Wednesday morning from the jail in Minneapolis, a small town about 120 miles west of Topeka. The prison in Ellsworth is about 50 miles southwest of the jail.
The department said that as of Wednesday, it housed 88 male inmates in four county jails under contracts paying the counties an average of $40 a day per inmate. County lockups apply to the state but must pass an inspection that includes a review of training and facilities. The state has another nine inmates who are nearing their release from prison in a work program in Johnson County.
placement in Ottawa County right now, just during this period," Barclay said. "This is an interim step while the investigation is taking place."
Police warned that James and Carrera-Morales should be considered armed and dangerous, and that they may not be traveling together. Authorities acknowledged they were not sure where they might be headed but that they could be in or near to North Platte, Neb., after another inmate turned up there.
Barclay said the department has had informal internal discussions about providing supplemental training to staffers at county jails that house state inmates.
Drew Wade, 21, had traveled in a stolen minivan to the western Nebraska town and was alone when he gave himself up about 13 hours after the jail break, police said. Wade told North Platte police that he had phoned his father, and that his father persuaded him to turn himself in.
"He walked into the local Walmart," said police Sgt. Gary Hovey. "He approached the manager and asked him to call the police."
The inmates, armed with homemade knives, overpowered guards at the Kansas jail after complaining about a broken water line in the holding cell area, Ottawa County Sheriff Keith Coleman told The Salina Journal. Coleman, who didn't respond to a phone call by The Associated Press on Thursday, said the inmates were able to open the cell doors and make their way outside. The guards suffered only minor injuries.
Hovey said Wade told North Platte police; "They all went in separate directions after they got out."

Sen. Rubio open to vice president position
WASHINGTON — Wherever Sen. Marco Rubio goes, talk of vice president follows
- whether he's inadvertently referring to himself as the second in command or insisting to questioners that he'd rather stay in the Senate.
In the morning
Thursday, the
Florida Republican
called him "bom."
Rubio
called himself vice president at a forum
sponsored by National Journal, saying, "If I have done a good job as vice president ..." He quickly corrected himself. It was unclear whether the slip was intentional.
Later in the day, he told reporters that he'd prefer to remain in Congress but left open the possibility of an ambitious political future in 2016 or beyond.
"I am really committed to doing a good job in the Senate," Rubio said at a sitdown session with a dozen-plus reporters. "If I do a good job in the Senate, three, four, five, six years from now, I'll have a different opportunity ... to do things inside of government and outside
of government."
The Cuban-American and freshman lawmaker has frequently been mentioned as a potential running mate for likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney — and a surefire way for the Republican Party to improve its abysmal standing with Hispanic voters.
A Pew Research Center survey out Tuesday showed President Barack Obama with an overwhelming advantage over Romney among Hispanic registered voters, 67-27 percent.
