Escaped convict David Sweat, shot and captured by police last weekend, has returned, after four weeks on the outside, to prison. Sweat and his deceased partner-in-crime Richard Matt escaped from Clinton Correctional early last month.

In a press release, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision announced that Sweat was released from Albany Medical Center on Sunday and transferred to a maximum-security prison in Romulus, NY, the Five Points Correctional Facility, where he will spend his first 24 hours in the infirmary.

According to prison officials, once he is healthy enough—Sweat was shot twice by a federal officer—Sweat will be held in the prison’s special housing unit. From the Times:

Officials said that after he is discharged, he will be transferred to a single cell in the prison’s special housing unit, where he will be confined for 23 hours and placed on suicide watch.

His cell will have a bed, a writing platform, a toilet and sink, and a shower that will limit movement, officials said.

The Five Points Correctional Facility is about 250 miles from Clinton Correctional, from which Sweat and Matt fled early last month. Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole for murder.
