Authorities say a Georgia inmate who broke out of jail, then returned after stealing 14 packs of cigarettes, has been sentenced to 20 years.
Prosecutors told the Florida Times-Union that inmate Harry Jackson, 26, escaped from his cell at the Camden County Jail last year and went to the exercise yard to retrieve cigarettes he had expected would be tossed over a fence.
When the contraband wasn't there, Jackson scaled the fence, broke a window at a store and grabbed cigarette packs only to be arrested upon his return to the jail.
Jackson had been jailed on charges including driving with a suspended licence.
