A man who escaped from the Kenosha Correctional Center earlier this month is back in custody.
Jonathan Taylor, 31, was arrested without incident by U.S. Marshals in Racine around 9 a.m. on May 13, according to a release from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections release.
He is currently in the Racine County Jail.
Taylor, who is from Racine, escaped from Kenosha Correctional Center, a minimum-security prison at 6353 14th Ave. in Kenosha, just before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, according to the DOC.
Online court records indicate Taylor was sentenced in May 2024 to a year in prison followed by a year of extended supervision for fleeing or eluding an officer.
Taylor was at Kenosha Correctional Center to take part in educational and vocational programming. He had a job inside the center as a laundry worker and did not participate in work release in the community.
