BOTH prisoners who absconded from Leyhill Prison last Thursday have been apprehended.
Anthony McCormick and Nicholas Briggs fled the prison on Thursday afternoon, prompting a region-wide man hunt.
Briggs, 28, who was serving an 18-month sentence for domestic assault, was found and arrested by Gwent Police last night.
McCormick, 52, who was serving a life sentence after being convicted of rape in 1998, handed himself in at a police station on Friday.
Police have thanked the media and the public for their assistance in the investigation.
