A total of two inmates were injured in the April 29 escape attempt, which was foiled by correctional specialists from Fort Leavenworth’s Corrections Brigade, said Lt. Col. Bryen Freigo, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth.
“The inmates were treated for injuries and returned to custody,” Freigo told Task & Purpose. “Public safety was maintained throughout the incident. The attempted escape remains under investigation.”
No further information about the incident was immediately available.
