Kishaun Andre Jones, 25, of Beckley, has been handed a four-month prison sentence for walking away from a federal reentry facility. The sentence, imposed by Chief United States District Judge Frank W. Volk, will be followed by three years of supervised release.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Jones left Dismas Charities Inc., a Bureau of Prisons residential reentry facility in St. Albans, without permission on August 2, 2024. This facility was where Jones was confined as a result of his conviction for distribution of methamphetamine in United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia on February 23, 2023.
Jones’s escape did not go unnoticed for long, as law enforcement recaptured him in Greenbrier County on January 14, 2025. The successful recapture was a result of the collaborative efforts of the United States Marshals Service and the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Office.
Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston commended the investigative work of the United States Marshals Service and the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Office, highlighting their crucial role in bringing Jones to justice. Assistant United States Attorney D. Keith Randolph prosecuted the case, ensuring that Jones was held accountable for his actions.
The sentence imposed on Jones serves as a reminder of the consequences of attempting to escape from federal custody. The case against Jones was built on the principle that such actions will not be tolerated and that those who engage in them will face the full force of the law.
A copy of the press release regarding Jones’s sentencing can be found on the website of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia. Additionally, related court documents and information can be accessed through PACER by searching for Case No. 2:25-cr-21, providing a detailed look into the case and its proceedings.
In conclusion, the sentencing of Kishaun Andre Jones to four months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, marks the end of a chapter in a case that highlights the importance of accountability and the rule of law. As Jones begins his sentence, it serves as a deterrent to others who might consider similar actions, underscoring the commitment of law enforcement agencies to uphold justice and maintain public safety.
