The men, who escaped Monday, are still at large and are the subject of a statewide manhunt. They were last seen by guards at 5:30 a.m., prison supervisor Sgt. Mary Overby told the Winston-Salem Journal. Advertisement They were discovered missing during a routine distribution of medicines one hour later. State law mandates inmates be checked every half hour. Overby said the men had rolled up their sheets to make it appear as if their beds were occupied. They then climbed through the hole in the ceiling and crawled through a ventilation system to the roof, where they tied their orange jumpsuits together to form a rope and descend 20 feet to a lower roof. The men were identified as: Matthew Wayne Shinault, 39; Randy Lee, 36; Archie Dale Robertson, 36; Paul Vincent Callas, 37; Rene Jeremias Fernandez, 22, and Timothy James Tate, 24.
