Moms escape prison with their babies

SAO PAULO, Brazil Authorities say the women used makeshift knives to overpower guards and escape the facility outside Sao Paulo. Two guard dogs were found drugged.

Police officer Luiz Ferretti said Tuesday all six women were recaptured. The facility's director, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with prison policy, said the babies were doing fine. The women escaped on Monday.

Inmates at the hospital-like unit are allowed to breast-feed their infants until they reach six months.

Authorities said three other women escaped without their babies. One remains at large.
