An Oklahoma state prison inmate serving a sentence for escape was recaptured less than five hours after escaping a minimum-security prison in eastern Oklahoma over the weekend, the Oklahoma State Department of Corrections (DOC) reported.

Robert Youngblood, 41, was taken into custody at about noon Saturday after escaping the Jess Dunn Correctional Center in Taft about 7 a.m., according to a statement from the department.

The department said Youngblood was seen by staff leaving the prison grounds on foot. Youngblood was serving time for escape from a Logan County jail.

Prison staff reportedly attempted to pursue Youngblood, but he was able to avoid them for a few hours. ODOC said Youngblood was apprehended without incident thanks to the work of Lighthouse police, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office.

DOC records show Youngblood’s previous convictions include for drug possession and distribution, false personation, obstructing an officer and robbery.

The Dunn Correctional Center is located in Muskogee County 10 miles west of Muskogee. It was built in 1932 as a mental hospital for African-American patients. Since then, it has been a tuberculosis sanitarium, a juvenile girls facility, and a co-ed home. ODOC took over the facility in 1980 from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. It is named after Jess Dunn, the warden of Oklahoma State Penitentiary from 1938 until 1941, who died during an inmate escape attempt and shootout that year.
