Officials say the men were being detained in an overflow area due to an influx of prisoners when they escaped.
It is believed that the escapees allegedly kicked down a steel door before scaling a barbed wire fence, according to officials.
Chesterfield County Sheriff Cambo Streater says officials believe the men had help getting out and being transported to the next location, according to Fox 8.
Streater also believes they’ve changed clothes, making it harder to be recognized.
