Newly released prison footage shows the inmate "crab walked" up two walls separated by a 5ft (1.5m) hallway. Officials say razor wire was installed after the previous escape, but that it was clearly not effective. The Chester County Prison acting warden said at a news conference that the prison had hired security consultants after the 19 May escape of Igor Bolte, who previously told police that he had relied on his knowledge of rock climbing to escape. The consultants had "identified an insufficiency", said Acting Warden Howard Holland, and razor wire was installed to keep other inmates from using the same exit route. "While we believed our security methods were sufficient, they were proven otherwise. And we will now move quickly to enhance our security measures," said Mr Holland. Video shows how Cavalcante "crab walked up a wall, through razor wire", he said, placing his hands on one wall and his feet on another wall to push his way upwards. After reaching the roof, both inmates were able to climb down a ladder to a less secure part of the prison.

But while the prison focused on the physical barriers, Mr Holland said they failed to address "the human element". At the time of the escape, just before 09:00 local time, there was a corrections officer in the observation tower. But the officer apparently failed to monitor the security feed, unlike){kind=link}
