KAWARTHA LAKES-A Federal inmate who escaped from a halfway house in Peterborough in 2009 has escaped from another correctional facility.
Corrections Canada says on August 22, 2019, Jack Woods escaped while on temporary absence from Dorchester Penitentiary in Dorchester, New Brunswick. Officials are collaborating with the police and a warrant for his arrest has been issued.
Woods is serving an indeterminate sentence for Manslaughter and Second Degree Murder. He was given a life sentence for the 1996 shooting death of a man in Edmonton and was also convicted of clubbing another man to death.
At the time of his escape from the Peterborough halfway house officials described Woods as an experienced outdoorsman who “is not prepared to go back to jail.”
Jack Woods is 66 years old, measures 170 cm (5’7”) in height and weighs 101 kg (223 lbs). He has a fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. He has tattoos of skulls on his left arm and a leopard on his right arm.
Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Jack Woods is asked to contact the Codiac RCMP Detachment.
