Police in Bali are still searching for two prisoners who escaped from Kerobokan prison in June, including Australian man Shaun Davidson.

Davidson, 33, and three other prisoners are believed to have escaped from the prison through a hole connected to an old drainage system.

Bulgarian Dimitar Nikolove Ilieve and Indian Sayed Mohammed Said were recaptured in Dili in East Timor days after the escape, but Davidson and Malaysian Tee Kok King remain on the run.

Police chief Petrus Golose said more than 20 witnesses had been interviewed, including prison guards, and there would be a reconstruction of the crime.

"We are still conducting the investigation once it's all done and all the requirements are completed and the dossier is ready I will make a public announcement," Inspector Golose said.

"We're still pursuing other escapees, [there are] enough questions about that."

Inspector Golose said he told a meeting of Indonesian parliamentarians that one way to stop crime in Bali would be to send offenders to the Nusa Kumbangan prison, which is sometimes referred to as Execution Island.

"We'll send them there to live with terrorists, drugs dealers and corruptors. So if they continue to commit crimes in Bali I will send them to Nusa Kumbangan," he said.

Davidson had less than three months of his one-year sentence left to serve, but he would also face drug-related charges once deported home to Perth.

The ABC's Foreign Correspondent program recently spent a week filming behind Kerobokan's walls, revealing an overcrowded and deeply unfunded prison.

Inspector Golose has previously stated that there is a lack of supervision of prisoners at the jail.

On a normal day there are just eight guards on duty for around 1,300 male prisoners.
