The deceased are said to have drowned in a septic tank.
The duo died on Monday afternoon as one of the deceased, Corporal Patrick Owor, a prison warder, was trying to rescue the inmate, Samuel Rubarilea, from a septic tank a few kilometres from Masindi Main Prison.
Police say Owor had instructed Rubarilea to get into the septic tank and unblock a sewage channel.
The prison warder was reportedly supervising all inmates who were doing general cleaning at the time of the incident.
Mr James Murungi, a witness, told Daily Monitor in an interview yesterday that after sensing that the inmate was in danger, the prison warder tried to rescue him but unfortunately, he slid and he too fell into the septic tank where he died.
