Two inmates who escaped from Hawaii Community Correctional Center are still at large. They were last seen on foot around noon in the vicinity of Alahelenui Street and Kaumana Drive. Both were barefoot and wearing grey sweat pants and white T-shirts.
One or both of them may try to hitchhike to Kona.
