An inmate who escaped from the Coronation Drive penal facility last month has been sentenced to spend six months behind the same institution he escaped from.

 Earlier this week, 39-year-old Brodah Wanlovv pleaded guilty to escaping lawful custody after his daring break-out on the evening of May 27.

The escape was discovered when a prison officer found that the eastern side of the holding area had been forcibly breached, and Wanlovv was missing.

Wanlovv was apprehended the next day around 3:00 p.m. in Fort Road. Initially on remand for larceny, he now faced charges for both his escape and the nearly $2000 in damage caused.

During court proceedings, Wanlovv requested leniency, citing a troubled state of mind and asking to be sent to rehab.

Despite his plea, the Magistrate sentenced him to six months of imprisonment.
