Two Manitoba jail inmates back in custody at Dauphin Correctional Centre

DAUPHIN, Man. - Two inmates are back in custody after running away from a jail in western Manitoba.

RCMP say two men escaped Sunday night from the Dauphin Correctional Centre by jumping a fence.

Manitoba Corrections officers and RCMP started searching for the pair and recaptured them about an hour later.

The wind chill at the time was around -40 C.

Skyler Cook, who is 20, and Courtney Miles, who is 23, have each been charged with escaping lawful custody and were to appear in court Monday.

They were originally being held on charges including robbery, mischief, and possession of a weapon.
