COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Iowa prison officials say a 30-year-old inmate who didn’t return from his job has been listed as escaped from the state’s Council Bluffs work release facility. Authorities say Matthew Ashby didn’t return to the facility on Friday. He was transferred there on Sept. 15th.

Since June 2010, Ashby has been serving a 20-year sentence out of Cass County for willful injury and child endangerment with serious injury.
