With escaped inmate still on the loose, Pennsylvania officials vow to upgrade security at jail

WARREN, Pa. (AP) — County commissioners are vowing security upgrades and a thorough review of procedures following the escape of a homicide suspect who used bedsheets to escape from a northwestern Pennsylvania jail last week. Michael Burham fled the Warren County Prison late Thursday by climbing on exercise equipment, climbing through a window and then down a rope fashioned from jail bedding, authorities said. He remains on the loose. Commissioners say everything connected with the prison yard on the top floor and how prisoners are monitored there will be reviewed and security upgrades are already in the works.
