Authorities discovered the breakout during a routine security check shortly before dawn. The jail was immediately locked down, entrances and exits sealed, and deputies swarmed the perimeter. Now, the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, local police, and U.S. Marshals are hunting these fugitives.

The escapees are:

Details on how they escaped remain unclear, no reports of violence during the breakout, but with charges like murder and armed robbery, these men are considered highly dangerous.
