BEIJING - The Supreme People's Procuratorate has ordered Guangdong provincial prosecutors to investigate possible official misconduct behind a jailbreak, which saw two inmates climb over prison walls to escape on Saturday.

One of the inmates from a prison in Shaoguan City was knocked down by electric wire netting and was recaptured, while another escaped but was arrested on Sunday near the prison.

This is China's second jailbreak reported in less than two months.

In September, three inmates escaped a detention center and killed a guard in Yanshou County in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province. Four police officers were suspended, including the deputy head of the local public security bureau, who was probed for dereliction of duty.
