It is unclear whether they’ll be transported back to Franklin County or Orange County, but Florida Department of Corrections secretary Michael Cruz told ABC News they will not be returning to Franklin Correctional Institution, from which they made their escape.
While the manhunt for the escapees was on a national scale, law enforcement officials said they had information that led them to believe the men were hiding out in central Florida.
An interview with an associate, who was not in jail, helped pinpoint Jenkins’ and Walker’s whereabouts, Bailey said.
The men “were awaiting transportation from Atlanta to be transported to another state” when they were captured, he said. He did not know who the driver was or where the men planned to go once they fled the state.
Bailey indicated that more arrests would be made in connection with the jailbreak.
