Missing inmate recaptured, faces additional prison time
HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Michael Jay
A missing furlough inmate, who had been scheduled for release later this month before fleeing, is back behind bars after his capture Thursday night at Salt Lake Shopping Center.
At about 10:30 p.m., sheriffs and federal agents in a joint operation arrested Michael Jay. He was in federal custody this morning and was expected to be returned to Oahu Community Correctional Center later today, according to a news release from the Hawaii Department of Public Safety.
On Nov. 21, Jay returned from a furlough day pass to Laumaka Work Furlough Center. He was told to wait in the holding room to meet with staff when he fled.
Jay was serving a sentence for attempted assault in the first-degree and criminal property damage in the first-degree. Prior to his escape, the parole board tentatively approved his release on parole on Dec. 13.
The public safety department said he is expected to be charged with second-degree escape.

Due to be paroled on December 13 and escape on November 21? Sounds like Mr. May has impulse control problems.
Why you think he’s in prison, knucklehead no mo brains.
agree…sad dude
Maybe he didn’t want to be released.
“Prior to his escape, the parole board tentatively approved his release on parole on Dec. 13.”
Not the smartest dog in the pound.
And now he`ll get an extra five years too.
He’s probably institutionalized and knows he can’t survive on his own once he’s released from custody……
He was identified by the white T-shirt he was wearing.
