Authorities Offer $50,000 for Information on Escaped Convicts


Federal authorities are now offering $50,000 for information leading to the capture of two Chicago inmates that escaped Tuesday.

The two inmates, Joseph Banks and Kenneth Conley, were reported missing early Tuesday morning from the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Local authorities believe that the two inmates rappelled down 17 stories to street-level using a rope forged from bed sheets.

The facility has only been escaped from once before in 1985 by Bernard Welch, who was sent to 43 years in prison for murder.

The two escaped convicts are to be considered armed and dangerous.

Any information leading to their arrest should be reported to local Chicago authority or the Chicago FBI office at 312-421-6700.
