Police say a man who escaped from a minimum-security unit at a federal prison in Kingston has been found.
Ontario Provincial Police spokesperson Bill Dickson said the 42-year-old inmate was taken into custody without incident on Wednesday.
Police had said earlier that prison staff discovered the inmate was missing during a formal count at the Collins Bay Institution on Tuesday.
The man was serving an indeterminate sentence for second-degree murder.
