Inmates Escape From Mexican Prison Near Texas Border - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- A jailbreak near the Texas and Mexico border has south Texas cities hunting for inmates on the loose.

That's after 132 prisoners escaped from the Piedras Negras prison, near Eagle Pass, Texas.

So far three of the escapees have been caught by Mexican police.

All 132 inmates escaped through a tunnel in an old carpentry workshop, then cut through wire surrounding the complex.

It's being called one of Mexico's worst jailbreaks in recent years.

There is also speculation the escapees had inside help.
