Gary Butcher spent three days on the run before handing himself to police in Swadlincote, Derbyshire
An inmate who absconded from an open prison in Lincolnshire pre-booked a taxi to make his escape, a court heard.
Prosecutor Adam Pearson told the court Butcher booked a taxi from his cell using an illegal mobile phone the night before he escaped. Mr Pearson said Butcher absconded as worried he would be returned to a closed prison after losing a job on the prison farm and told police during an interview that "Everything had got on top of him".
