POWER COUNTY - The search for two escaped inmates out of Power County ends on Monday with both of them once again behind bars.

Police said Gilberto Delgado and Rodolfo Ortega broke out of jail after stealing the keys from a deputy and locking her inside on Sunday.

Ortega was captured on Sunday night in American Falls.

And, on Monday, Delgado was arrested in Chubbuck. Police said he was spotted trying to break into a home and then running from police.

The two inmates escaped from the Power County Jail and even though they're both inside now locked up, the question is: how did they get out?

It takes a key to go in and out of the jail. And as Lt. Kevin Ostlar brings us inside, it's obviously how tough it would be to escape.

"Every time you think you fix it, they do something else. That's the nature of criminals. That's what they do. Unfortunately, the inmates know the schedule and they see the detention officers come and go and they do their deeds according to that," said Lt. Kevin Ostlar, Power County.

Under Idaho jail standards, there should be at least two detention officers for any jail at any time, but at Power County, having one for a jail which can hold 24 inmates is a big enough feat.

"My FY2010 budget is my FY2009 budget cut by 10%. A loss of revenue to a county facility means jobs. It affects your resources and what you're able to do," said Sheriff Jim Jeffries, Power County.

And after a jail break, the Sheriff is on edge.

Although there are security measures in place, like dispatchers with control over all doors in the building and security cameras, more is needed.

"A lot of smaller counties like we are here. We don't have the resources to staff their jails with detention officers at all times and so it's been a real problem. Having two officers would have helped a lot," said Lt. Ostlar.

Even though this escape was an isolated incident, the Sheriff is looking at everything to find out whether or not things need to change.

Sheriff Jeffries said it would cost around $206,000 to hire four more people so two people are working inside the jail at all times.

The deputy who was attacked by the inmates will be back to work on Tuesday.

This isn't the only jail facing these budget cuts others like Franklin and Oneida County have already closed down their jails.
