PAUL VERCAMMEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, one official described it as a full court press, desperate because of the extremely violent nature of all three of these escaped inmates. A very sophisticated plan that they pulled off, and now we have confirmed that a fight was staged somewhere around the 8:00 p.m. head count at this jail, and this fight was used as a tool to distract the guards and delay the head count. That gave these inmates even more time to escape, Ashleigh. And I think we should look at each one of the wrap sheets. Not all of these are career criminals so we can give you can get a sense of how violent they are. You alluded to these inmates and some of the things they gotten involved in, and among other things, as you said, one of them accused of murder, another of attempted murder, the other of basically torture, mayhem, and on and on. What the authorities are reminding everybody about -- you can see that right there. This is Hossein Nayeri of Iranian descent accused of kidnapping. This is the youngest of the three. He went in as a juvenile into the system, and also believed to be extremely dangerous. And then the third 43-year-old man, he involved an attempted murder, among other things, as well as selling meth and burglary, it's that's not listed on their, selling like a deadly weapon. And the latter two both shoot shot into an inhabited dwelling. They are not linked to each other by the way. They do not believe that these inmates had any ties other than to meet each other in the tank in the Security Jail.</s>BANFIELD: All right, well there is a good look at their faces. Paul, Vercammen thank you for that. Thank you, everyone, for joining me. Wolf Blitzer starts right now.
