WILSONVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Authorities evacuated the administration building of a women's prison south of Portland, Oregon, after receiving an envelope with a white, powdery substance inside in the mail.

Five people were working in the mail room of the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility when the envelop arrived Friday.

Two of them were transported to local hospitals. No other information was immediately available.

This is the second evacuation of the administration building in the last two months. A suspicious envelope was received on September 11 with a unknown substance.
