An inmate who escaped the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex last week has been caught.

Jail officials with the Easter Kentucky Correctional Complex say a minimum-security inmate walked away from a work detail at a local tree farm.

An inmate at Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex in West Liberty was assaulted Friday in a general population dormitory at the prison, according to the Kentucky Department of Corrections.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky is challenging the censorship of books, magazines, letters and pictures sent to inmates at one state prison because the warden believes they "promote homosexuality."

State Police say 30-year old Billy Ferguson of West Liberty, was arrested at the state prison in Morgan County where he works as a correctional officer. He was charged with assault, unlawful imprisonment and official misconduct, according to the Big Sandy Correctional Institute website.
