Rockford, IL -(Effingham Radio)- Two inmates who escaped from a Wisconsin prison have been turned in by a homeless-shelter operator In Illinois.

Carly Rice of the non-profit Carly’s Place in Rockford says Friday morning she found Thomas Deering and James Newman still wearing their prison uniforms as they stood waiting for her to open her shelter, where she feeds and houses the homeless.  Deering and Newman escaped from Columbia County Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin on Thursday.  Rice says she knew who the men were and called police without their knowledge, and gave them food and jackets while she waited for police to arrive.
