The Kankakee County sheriff says documents showing staff conducted a count of inmates at lockdown time were falsified the night that a detainee attacked a guard and escaped.
Sheriff Tim Bukowski provided more details on the security lapses at a meeting Thursday of the Kankakee County Board's public safety committee.
Investigators found no inmate count had been done. Bukowski says those who broke protocol will be disciplined.
Twenty-three-year-old Kamron T. Taylor escaped April 1 from the Jerome Combs Detention Center after waiting for a guard making rounds and attacking him.
Wearing the guard's uniform, Taylor fooled officers in a master control room into buzzing him through security doors before driving off in the guard's SUV. He was captured three days later.
