Two inmates at a Defense Department maximum-security prison attempted to escape from the facility several weeks ago, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correctional officers at the Fort Leavenworth Army Corrections Brigade in Kansas intervened April 29 when a prisoner duo made a run for it, successfully ending their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo inmates sustained injuries during the incident, were treated, and returned to custody,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cPublic safety was maintained throughout the incident. The attempted escape is under investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the incident, purported footage of the attempted escape was uploaded<\/a> to an X account entitled \u201cU.S. Army WTF! moments,\u201d along with the incorrect name of one escapee said to be depicted in the shared photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
