Drew Johnson, 33, a convicted murderer, escaped from South Mississippi Correctional Institution on Christmas Eve but was recaptured less than 24 hours later.
Johnson was serving a life sentence for murder and had a history of violent crimes, including stabbing an acquaintance multiple times and vandalizing jail property.
Local officials warned residents of Johnson’s desperate and dangerous state after his escape, urging vigilance during the typically generous Christmas season.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about prison security in Mississippi, especially given recent escapes, including another inmate captured 400 miles away.
