Man who fled Kenosha prison surrenders
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say a Milwaukee man who escaped from a minimum security facility in Kenosha on July 3 has turned himself in.
Department of Corrections spokesman John Dipko says 29-year-old Eric Adams surrendered about 1:30 p.m. Saturday at a detention facility in Milwaukee.
Dipko says the department will recommend that Adams be charged with escape, which usually results in three to five years in prison.
He says Adams fled through an unlocked door at the Kenosha Correctional Center after officers found him talking on a cell phone in his room. The prison has no perimeter fence and is primarily for inmates on work release.
Adams was serving a 20-year sentence for a 1999 felony murder-armed robbery but was up for parole this October.

Uh, the point of the prison reform proposals IS to make more room for more violent criminals by releasing more non-violent criminals. If they had been in place he probably would not have been able to make parole in October or be in that minimum security facility.

Question. What does democrate or republican have do do with a prisoner escaping? Maybe it is because you folks are republicans and anything that take place you like to blame the Democrates. You folks are really some sick people and no time to be good. Maybe you folks should take his place.

What an idiot. Doesn't he read the papers. If he'd have just stayed put the democrats would have let him go back on the streets soon enough so he could renew his life of victimizing innocent people.
