Life-sentenced inmate escaped from prison. A reward has been set.

A man sentenced to life imprisonment for murder escaped from a Tennessee prison, prompting authorities to offer a reward for his capture. Jacob Allen Morley, 28, broke through the prison fence and stole a car. He was sentenced in 2025 for first-degree murder and other crimes. Following his escape, a manhunt was initiated, and he was placed on Tennessee's most wanted list with a $2,500 reward for information leading to his arrest. Investigators later found the abandoned vehicle in Illinois, but Morley's whereabouts remain unknown. This incident marks another troubling event for the Tennessee Department of Corrections, following a recent botched execution.
