A prisoner who escaped Samoa's main prison yesterday is back behind bars.

Lagalaga Misiuki has been recaptured with the help of his family and the village of Fagali'i.

In a facebook page, the Samoa Police Service said Misiluki was again at Tafa'igata prison.

Misiluki has a history of short lived escapes.

One of four prisoners who escaped before Christmas, Uili Manuleleua, is still at large.
