A convicted rapist who absconded from an open prison has been found in a town 25 miles away.

Wayne Jones, who is serving a life sentence at HMP North Sea Camp near Boston in Lincolnshire, was arrested in nearby Sleaford earlier.

The 39-year-old was reported missing from the Category D open prison on Sunday evening.

But an Independent Monitoring Board report said the policy "seemed to be working well with a polite and calm atmosphere being created".
