This has been going on since early in the a.m. hours. Sporadic reports even here in the San Fernando Valley of people fitting the description of these 2 have not panned out yet. The SFV is just in the next valley to where this prison is located... less than 20 miles or so away.
The area that they are in has plenty of space to hide in but dogs enjoy finding these people.

Two inmates escape from Castaic jail [Updated]
April 28, 2010 | 7:14 am
Authorities are looking for two inmates who escaped early Wednesday from a Castaic jail.
Inmates The men, who were in custody in connection with an armed robbery, were discovered missing during a 3:15 a.m. head count at the North County Correctional Facility, said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The men had been working at a kitchen loading dock and may have escaped shortly after 1 a.m., Whitmore said.
“We have information that leads us to believe that they may have planned this escape because they were facing a court hearing [Wednesday] where they were facing severe jail time,” Whitmore said.
[Updated at 9:55 a.m.: The two were expected Wednesday in court, where the case was in mid-trial. They each faced more than 10 years in prison if convicted of multiple counts, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the L.A. County district attorney’s office.]
He identified the men as Winder Barrios and Jose Aldana, both 24 and from Van Nuys. They were arrested April 2 by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood division.
About 50 sheriff’s deputies are participating in the search and more may be called in, Whitmore said.
