The May 30 escape was the second in recent weeks from the Hinds County facility. On April 22, four inmates escaped. Two of the four escapees died while on the lam, one in a standoff with police. Two others were captured in early May.
In addition, a few weeks ago, two arrests were also made in connection with Spring. Officials arrested Kayce Knight, 36, in the 3500 block of Bowers Street and arrested Michael Lynn Allen, 45, on Thursday, June 1, in the 500 block of Walker Lane, according to Jones.
