Twenty-two-year-old Linton Bailey of Jacks River, St. Mary, who was among seven prisoners who had escaped from the Oracabessa Lock-Up two weeks ago, was recaptured in the parish on Thursday, January 04. According to the Port Maria police, Bailey, who escaped custody on Thursday, December 21, 2023, was captured between 9:50 and 10:30 a.m. during an operation in the Wilderness community, also in the parish. The escapee was found in a vegetated area of the community and taken back into custody. The manhunt is still underway for the six remaining jailbreakers who are still on the run.
