Two corrections officers have been placed on paid leave as authorities investigate an inmate's escape from a Rhode Island detention center.
Former Army reservist James Morales was reported missing Saturday night and remains at large.
Wyatt Correctional Center warden Daniel Martin tells WBZ-TV (http://cbsloc.al/2ivyGIG ) that two officers were placed on leave. He says Morales escaped around 7 p.m. but wasn't discovered missing until three hours later.

The prison in Central Falls remains locked down as officials review procedures.
The 35-year-old Morales is charged with stealing 16 guns from a U.S. Army Reserve Center and faces child rape charges.
Police say they believe Morales fled to Attleboro, Massachusetts, and stole a car that was found Sunday. They believe he is bleeding from razor wire that he climbed through to escape.
