Inmate escapes prison in Kentucky, turns himself back in because of the cold.
An inmate who escaped from a minimum security facility in Lexington on Sunday turned himself back in on Monday as temperatures plummeted into the single digits. He was wearing prison issued Khaki pants and shirt, and a light jacket. The wind chill factor that night reached -20.
