【AL】 1 inmate recaptured, another still on the run after weekend escape from Alabama prison work center – Alabama News

One of two inmates who escaped from an Alexander City Community Work Center over the weekend has been recaptured.

Terry Dale Warren, 47, and Richard Mordecai, 48, escaped Saturday from the facility, which is located near the Coosa and Tallapoosa County line.  The inmates were discovered missing about 10 a.m. Saturday.

Warren was recaptured Monday on Highway 22 by a Coosa County sheriff’s deputy.

Warren was convicted of multiple charges of burglary and robbery in 1998 and was sentenced to an additional 22 years for escaping a year later.

Mordecai remains on the run. Convicted of burglary and theft, he was up for parole in June, but no hearing was held.

Sheriff’s officials said the search for Mordecai continues by the U.S. Marshals, county deputies and the Alabama Department of Corrections.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Coosa County Sheriff’s Office at 256-377-2211 or 911.
