Five Convicts Fail in Bid to Escape at Utah Prison

Five inmates at the Point of the Moon Utah prison attempted a bold breakout on Thursday. They overpowered a guard at knifepoint, exited at the north gate, and marched across a baseball diamond before alarms sounded. Officers from two watch towers forced them to flee into a hay field where they were soon pinned down, recaptured, and restrained. Guard Kenneth Jensen, 43, was captured during the escape and used to open a food cart before being released back inside. The fugitives cut a telephone line and disappeared briefly before being pursued.
