Accidentally freed Florida murderers registered at jail

Two convicted murderers freed from prison with forged paperwork dutifully went to a jail to register as felons several days after their release.

Florida officials are searching for Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker, both 34, who were serving life sentences.

Prison officials said they will tighten up their early-release policy to ensure there is no repeat of the blunder.

The falsified documents were not identified until several weeks after first convict's release.
