Three inmates have escaped from one prison in Kentucky in just one month - as they have seemingly just walked away and disappeared. 

The latest to escape from the Bluegrass Career and Development Center in Madison County, was Tyler Branstetter, 38, from Glasgow. 

Branstetter is serving a sentence for multiple drug-related charges, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and tampering with physical evidence. 

Earlier this month Louis Jones, 38, and Cody Hatfield, 27, escaped from the same facility. 

The Center is for 'the housing of correctional residents who are on their way towards a new beginning in life.'

Security at the Bluegrass Career and Development Center has been called into question after the three inmates walked out of the center and have not been seen since. 

Branstetter walked away in the middle of the day at 2.30pm on Monday, while Hatfield left just before 4pm on April 30. 

None of the men have been seen since, according to the latest update from State Police.  

It's not known if the men know each other, or where they are now.  

The center is a re-entry service center, according to the Department of Corrections website. 

It 'accommodates state inmates, parolees, and probationers and is designed to help them integrate back into society after their incarceration.

The center offers 'vocational training programs, educational opportunities, and cognitive behavioral programs that can give an offender better options once their incarceration or supervision has ended.'

Hatfield, 27, from Shepherdsville, was serving a sentence for third-degree burglary and engaging in organized crime.
