Brian Rogers' escape, saying it failed to answer important questions.

"I am not satisfied with what I've read and I've asked for more details,'' Acting Social Services Minister the Hon. Mike Winfield said hours after receiving the report.

"There are a lot of questions I need answered in the report and I am seeking answers and I am going to get them.'' Sen. Winfield said the report did confirm that one prison officer was the subject of disciplinary proceedings as a result of the dangerous criminal's Christmas-time escape.

But he would not name the officer or say how he was being punished. He said the report also confirmed that "none of the tools suggested by the Mid-Ocean News was in his cell at the time of his escape''. And Rogers was tested twice for cocaine and proved negative each time.

"According to the report, a great deal of what was said in the Mid-Ocean report was inaccurate,'' Sen. Winfield said. "But having said that, I still have a number of questions.'' The report would not be made public for prison security reasons, he said. Sen.

Winfield had ordered that the report be on his desk by yesterday in light of shocking new allegations over Rogers' break-out. The probe was not expected to be completed until later in the month.

Sen. Winfield yesterday gave prison officials, who conducted the report, until the end of the week to fill in the blank spaces.

Health and Socials Services Minister the Hon. Quinton Edness was off the Island this week as well, he said.

The Mid-Ocean News reported in last Friday's edition that Rogers' cell was filled with tools, including a 30-inch chain saw, hatchets, hammers and petrol.

The newspaper further said, according to prison sources, Rogers used cocaine in prison and had not been eligible for transfer to the Prison Farm.

Rogers was moved to the Ferry Reach Prison Farm to do private work for prison officers, including car repairs and woodwork, the sources claimed. If prison policy had been followed, he would not have been eligible for transfer to the farm from Casemates Prison for at least six years.

Some prison officers helped Rogers run his carpentry business from the farm by providing him with cedar wood, the sources claimed.

Prison rules might also have been breached, the article said. Rogers was running a carpentry business from the farm and selling his carvings through an "outside'' businessman.

The newspaper's sources further claimed Rogers sold his wood carvings to a Somerset businessmen. And it may have been a bitter argument with the businessman that prompted his escape.

That claim was, in fact, backed up by acting Police Commissioner Supt. Wayne Perinchief in the aftermath of Rogers' escape.

Supt. Perinchief revealed during a news conference that Rogers was a skilled carpenter who made cedar carvings. And he said he apparently had an argument with a "man who did business with him'' and also with a woman friend.

He may have escaped to confront the two, whose homes were being watched, Supt.

Perinchief said.

Prisons Commissioner Mr. Edward Dyer, who was off the Island at the time the story broke, is back but could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Rogers, a convicted sex attacker and burglar, escaped from the Prison Farm one week before Christmas and is the chief suspect in a rash of crimes committed while he was on the run.

Prison officials have confirmed Rogers broke out by climbing through a bathroom window after ripping out the iron bars.

He was apprehended in the backyard of a Ferrars Lane home after four days on the run. Police swooped on the area minutes after a man who fitted Rogers' description broke into a Rosemont Avenue home and threatened a woman with a knife.
