(CNN) A convicted murderer who escaped from a Mississippi state prison on Christmas Eve was captured Wednesday, according to a Mississippi Department of Corrections post on Facebook.

 

Drew Johnson was captured in an area near the prison, the post said.

 

Sentenced to life in prison on Valentine’s Day in 2022, Johnson managed to escape from Mississippi’s newest state prison in Greene County nearly three years later on Christmas Eve, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

 

Authorities in Mississippi had described Johnson as “desperate” and “very very dangerous.”

Sounds like a very safe jailhouse, especially for being new. I guess they cut corners or staff.
