Pandemonium broke out yesterday afternoon after some prisoners allegedly set the Camp Street prison on fire and fled the facility.
Almost the entire prison was wrecked in the ensuing fire.
Police last night put out wanted bulletins for Mark Royden Williams, who was convicted in February this year over the Bartica massacre of 2008, and Uree Varswyk who was recently committed to stand trial for murder. The other escapees are unidentified.
The fire began close to 3pm and by 8 pm the entire complex, many of the aged buildings made of wood, was ablaze. The complex was flattened and up to press time this morning fire-fighters were left monitoring the situation.
