Mississippi prison staff suspended for failing to report a double murderer had escaped until a day later
The Independent says Staff at a Mississippi prison are facing punishment after waiting more than a day to alert the state’s Department of Corrections that a double murderer had escaped.
The Associated Press reported that Michael Floyd Wilson, 51, was captured in Harrison County, about 130 miles (210km) from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility outside Jackson.
About a dozen employees at the prison were suspended for their failure to report the escape.
This is Wilson’s third jail break; he managed to free himself from a county jail in 2001 when he was held on a burglary charge, and later escaped from the South Mississippi Correctional Institution in 2018.
