KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say a Milwaukee man who escaped from a minimum security facility in Kenosha July 3 has turned himself in.

Department of Corrections spokesman John Dipko says 29-year-old Eric Adams surrendered about 1:30 p.m. Saturday at a detention facility in Milwaukee.

Dipko says the department will recommend that Adams be charged with escape, which usually results in three to five years in prison.

He says Adams fled through an unlocked door at the Kenosha Correctional Center after officers found him talking on a cell phone in his room. The prison has no perimeter fence and is primarily for inmates on work release.

Adams was serving a 20-year sentence for a 1999 felony murder-armed robbery but was up for parole this October.

Hes an IDIOT! Now he can sit and think about the people he killed for another 3-5 years, without his cell phone, WAAAA. Minimum Security and good behavior don't mix for a murderers, what a great judicial system we have. So he gets out in 20 years and what does that do for the person he killed... do they get out to? NO sit and rot for another 20 you deserve it and I will gladly pay taxes to do so.
