Inmates save three boys [PHOTO/VIDEO] from frigid river, Prison inmates on a work crew dove into a freezing, fast-moving creek to save three brothers whose kayak capsized on a creek in Washington state.

Sources say before the inmates, from Larch Corrections Center, were finishing their work for the day near the river when they heard the children screaming.

"We just thought it was some kids screaming until we seen their two heads bobbing in the water with the canoe upside down," says Nelson Pettis, a member of the crew. "They were coming down over flooded Salmon Creek. It was raging pretty fast." Go here for more including photo and video.
