Prison Break: Inmates blow up wall to escape in Brazil

This is the second mass breakout in the area in a week.
Forty inmates escaped from jail in the eastern Brazilian city of Recife after a bomb was used to blow a hole in an external wall, authorities there say.

The prison guard's union said it had warned the authorities that a breakout was imminent. The union also said that like most Brazilian jails, this one was severely overcrowded. The prison complex houses four times the number of prisoners it was built for.
