The Mississippi Department of Corrections issued the following statement.
State Escapee Captured with 2 Wanted Felons
State inmate Melody Diana Maher, who escaped while on a work detail in downtown Jackson nearly a week ago, is now back in custody. Maher, 24, #189661, was captured at 1:45 p.m. today at a Vicksburg apartment by officers with MDOC’s Corrections Investigation Division (CID) and the U.S. Marshals Service.
Probationer Steven Heigle, 34, and parolee Jerry Brady Weed, 35, were arrested with Maher. Both were already wanted by MDOC on unrelated charges but could face additional charges in connection with Maher’s escape.
Heigle, #163471, was released on probation on Feb. 19, 2016. He received a total of seven years to serve for two felony DUI convictions in Sharkey County.
Weed, #100442, was released on parole on Nov. 8, 2016. He received a total of three years for possession of a controlled substance in Sharkey County and two years for possession of amphetamine in Hinds County.
Maher also faces charges in her escape. She had been missing since May 25 when she fled from outside the Mississippi Prison Industries Corp. (MPIC) office on North State Street. Maher has been in prison since last year for two drug convictions. She received a total of 15 years to serve for controlled substance within a facility and cocaine possession in DeSoto County.
Vicksburg Police Department, Warren County Sheriff’s Department, and Sharkey County Sheriff’s Department assisted MDOC.

Curious about well-reasoned people's thoughts on this. Discuss--
Taking into consideration:
-cost effectiveness
-increased risk / danger to society
-probability for individual offender rehabilitation
-deterrence to others in committing similar crime
Years in jail for multiple DUI convictions vs alternatives. Years in jail for personal possession of controlled substances.
She kinda cute.
Forgot the intellectual discussion, Wow. I agree that she's kinda cute in this pic, but some of her other mugshots aren't so flattering. Maybe she only looks this good when she's been clean for a while.
The mugshots do range from pretty hot to pretty scary. Drugs will F you up!
White trash druggie jailbird plucks her eyebrows and takes a bath. Suddenly she's "kinda cute".
Some guys can't stop thinking with the small head.
Small head says she is indeed cute.
Haha, fair enough.
Survey says 93% of men who show up at health department for penicillin and blue star ointment tell the treating nurse that 'she were kinda cute'. And their next comment is, "Hope you ain't gonna tell my wife 'bout this."
15 yrs seems like an awful lot.
I'd hit it.
I'd hit it.
A phrase used by guys who get it maybe twice a year, and then only when the wife has had a particular good weigh-in at Jenny Craig.
The phrase, "you'd be eating alone in a women's prison," applies here.
