Two inmates with violent criminal records escaped early this morning from the Oahu Community Correctional Center by sawing their way through steel window bars.

Wayne Jenkins, 44, and Reece Dull, 28, escaped from a second-floor room at the Annex 2 medium-security building sometime between 2 and 4 a.m., OCCC Warden Nolan Espinda said.

Jenkins has been at OCCC since last Aug. 5 for multiple firearms violations.

Dull, charged with two counts each of armed robbery, kidnapping and first-degree burglary, was sent to OCCC on May 9 of last year.

"Their crimes make them dangerous," Espinda said.

Jenkins and Dull are suspected of using a hacksaw blade to cut through window bars on the second floor of the building, which houses inmates in a dormitory- type setting.

The inmates then climbed down to the first floor and climbed over the outside fence to freedom, Espinda said.

Dull, a felon from California, was charged with breaking into an apartment last April 7, striking a resident and stealing her purse. He also was charged with robbing a fast-food restaurant cashier nine days later.
