By
Two men who escaped from a Georgia jail now face charges in Colorado, where they were recaptured this week. <br> <br> Gunnison County, Colorado, sheriff Rick Murdie says 19-year-old Cesar Cabrera Junior and 37-year-old Donald Scott Thurston were charged yesterday with carjacking a vehicle and abducting the driver. <br> <br> They face felony charges of kidnapping, aggravated robbery and auto theft. <br> <br> Cabrera, Thurston and Bobby Lee Jones escaped from a jail in Candler County, Georgia, on April 15. Jones was found in Colorado, dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. <br> <br> Murdie says Cabrera and Thurston will have lawyers appointed for them and be tried in Colorado before they are extradited to Georgia.
