Authorities are reviewing security measures at the Racine County Jail after three prisoners were accused of removing concrete blocks from a cell over a period of weeks.

"So they would have something so it wouldn't look like they were in jail orange. That's a pretty distinct color. Even in the middle of the night, you would notice someone in an orange jumpsuit going down the street, particularly law enforcement. So yeah, they were working pretty hard. They had given some thought to their efforts," Racine County District Attorney Mike Nieskes said. Authorities were tipped off by another jail inmate.
