Prisoner who escaped 23 years ago back behind bars after running drugs factory

A PRISONER who escaped more than 20 years ago is back behind bars after he was caught running a drugs factory.

Barry Doughty, 57, broke out of jail only weeks into a sentence for drug dealing in 1999.

He was finally caught when police carried out a raid on a property in Dover, Kent.

It had been used for producing steroids and had made £80,000 since 2017.

Doughty, who initially gave cops a fake name, admitted breaking out of prison and the supply of Class C drugs.

He was jailed for six years at Canterbury crown court
