Other Ray County inmates aren’t surprised there was an escape early Tuesday at the county jail.

“Only tin is stopping us from getting in the attic. But, I mean, I’m kind of surprised it happened the way it did,” inmate Earl Stackhouse told FOX4.

Wednesday was day 2 of a manhunt for an escaped inmate in Ray County, highlighting problems at the local jail and likely contributors.

Ray County Sheriff Scott Childers said an inmate stabbed a correctional officer using a shank made out of metal pulled from the jail’s crumbling walls.
