After 67 hours chasing, the chinese police captured 3 prison breakers and killed 1 on street. This prison break action failded, the reality is far from the US tv series Prison Break which 4th season released month ago.

China Daily provides a rather comprehensive graphic of how the prison break occurred (we especially liked the details about how each prisoner boarded the getaway taxi). According to Tang Ji, chief law reporter with Xinhua News Agency's Inner Mongolia bureau, this all has been a "negligent accident on the part of prison management," and "modern monitoring facilities and heavy police detachments should make it impossible for inmates to escape."
