\nA escaped Nelson County Correctional Center inmate was taken into custody Saturday.<\/p>\n
Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall said that Nation walked away from the inmate work program around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14. Nation was serving a 12-month sentence and scheduled to be released in November, according to Hall.<\/p>\n
However, because of the walk-off, he will face additional charges and could face up to five more years of incarceration<\/p>\n
Nation is first of two Nelson County inmates that have been detained by authorities. Police are still searching for 29 year-old Ja’wan McKnight who escaped a transit vehicle upon arrival at the Nelson County Detention Center on Friday, April 10.
