“An inmate from Minimum Security was working outside and walked away (absconded) from his job assignment earlier this morning. The matter is under investigation by the ACI’s Investigative Unit.”
PS. He did not escape. He absconded (walked away). There is a difference. He was already outside.
Thank you.
