The prisoner then braces himself between two walls, with his hand on one side and his feet on the opposite side, and then crawls towards the roof and disappears from view.

Chester County Jail officials said a guard who was in the observation tower at the time of the escape around 8:50 a.m. did not notice the inmate. He is also reportedly under investigation.
