You can check with the GDC inmate locator to see if they are listing anything about his appeal and/or added time to his sentence with an escape charge.

You can check with the GDC inmate locator to see if they are listing anything about his appeal and/or added time to his sentence with an escape charge. You can also call the facility and ask to speak to a case manager or counselor and see if they will give you any information.
