Security enhancements made in response to prison break

KION

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona corrections officials say they have made enhancements on fence structures and gates in response to an escape of two incarcerated men from a prison earlier this year. The announcement Friday by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry came shortly after the agency released 400 pages of records from an investigation into the Jan. 23 escape by David T. Harmon and John B. Charpiot from the State Prison Complex in Florence. The records were heavily redacted and provided very little new information on the escape. Authorities say the pair used tools to breach a fence, tried to rob a business and were caught five days later.
