2 missing from Minn. prison back in custody

Minnesota corrections officials say two boys who had gone missing from the Red Wing juvenile prison are back in custody.

Department of Corrections spokesman John Schadl says the two were picked up by Goodhue County sheriff's officials and are headed back to the Red Wing facility.

The 16- and 17-year-old boys went missing between Sunday night and Monday morning at the minimum-security facility.

Schadl says the younger teen was serving time for assault and the older teen has a burglary conviction.
