NSW escapee gives himself up in NT

A prisoner who escaped from a minimum security jail in northern NSW by climbing through the roof has handed himself into police in the Northern Territory.

Richard Norrie, 33, was reported missing after failing to show up to a morning muster at the Glen Innes Correctional Centre 10 days ago.

On Monday, Norrie walked into the Alice Springs police station and was extradited to NSW, where he was charged on Wednesday with escaping custody, NSW Police said.
