Investigators are looking for a man who escaped Thursday from the work release camp at the Mount Olive Correctional Facility in Fayette County.

A spokesperson at Mount Olive says Robert Andrew Brady escaped sometime Thursday. Brady is part of the work release program. That's a minimum security program that is separate from the regular part of Mount Olive.

Brady is described as a white man with brown eyes. He's 5'9" tall and weighs 145 pounds. We're told he has a scar inside his upper left leg. He also has several tatoos including, a skeleton and bones tatoo on his upper left arm, "RAB" on his inner left forearm, and a dragon on his left side of his neck.

Brady was serving time on a conviction out of Greenbrier County. He was convicted on fraduently accessing computer forging or uttering and daytime burglary.

Officers say Brady is not considered dangerous, but if you have any information about his whereabouts, you're urged to call police immediately.

Inmates escape every day, people should not be so quick to judge unless you have walked that beaten path, and besides he is a work release inmate and very low supervision is required. They will catch him because the things with criminals is that 90% of the time once a criminal always a criminal.

I use to work in a prison and I dont think you have near enough security ,exspecially on the work release end of the spectrum.They are in there for a reason, not to be let out to work for the city to keep from paying someone who might ACTUALLY benifit from the money to provide for their family. A man trying to make an HONEST living!!!!

I heard he was caught in Lewisburg, WV. Is this true?

I don't know how this story "escaped" (pardon the punn) your eleven o'clock news cast. Although he isn't considered a dangerous criminal, chances are he doesn't want to go back. Living close to a prison makes all residences nervous when a prisoner escapes. My daughter's elementary school was on lock down yesterday, and the amount of information available was scarce. Although she only got home about half an hour later, it was nerve racking not knowing when she would get home, or if it would be safe for her to travel on the bus. Waking up this morning, no one knew if he had been captured or if he was still MIA. I'm just no sure how this seemed so unimportant to your cast.

Aren't we the bright one Allison. It's just a thought, but I don't think that asked him to escape. That's the bad thing about the work release program is that sometimes the prisoners escape.

they should have been keeping a better eye on him...
