UPDATE: The last remaining inmate that police identified as having escaped from a WA prison is back in custody.

Bradley Silvester, 35, was one of at least 10 men who escaped from Greenough Regional Prison near Geraldton in WA’s Mid West on Tuesday afternoon.

He was arrested at a rural property on Chapman Road, near the 440 Road House on the North Western Highway, north of Geraldton at 8.40am on Thursday.

Police had been searching the area after receiving a tip-off from a taxi driver that Silvester had asked for a lift from the street.

He was found him hiding in bushes and didn’t try to run away when he was confronted by police.

Seven News reports he had changed out of his prison greens and was wearing a high-vis shirt when he was recaptured.

An extra 150 officers were sent to Geraldton on Wednesday to help search for the escapees.

After seven escapees were found in the area, Brendan Bartley, 22, and 18-year-old Darryl Councillor handed themselves in to local police.

The men broke out after a riot, which Prison Officers’ Union acting secretary Paul Ledingham said went for hours and was finally contained early on Wednesday.

“It’s utter devastation,” Mr Ledingham told reporters.

“We’ve seen staff control rooms - supposedly secure areas for staff - smashed, destroyed and in one case burnt, fully burnt out.”

Residents and drivers were warned to not approach the 10 men and were urged to lock their doors and windows.

Corrective Services Commissioner Tony Hassall, who was appointed to the position in May, said the damage repair bill was likely to run into millions of dollars as many areas had come under heavy attack from prisoners during the riot.

“The female accommodation has been pretty much put out of commission, cell doors have been cut off, staff offices have been written off, the medical area has been damaged. (There is) significant damage in the female accommodation and a lot of damage in the male units,” Mr Hassall told Gareth Parker on 6PR’s Morning program.

He praised the actions of who “had done a tremendous job, incredibly brave”.

“The staff are systematically searching the prison at the moment, searching the prisoners, making the prison safe.”

An independent review into the riot and subsequent mass jail break will start on Monday.

“We will have a deep look at the running of the prison and look at a whole range of issues. I don’t want to speculate on what the causes are because they can be varied and there can be many reasons for it,” Mr Hassall said.
