Police have now captured the all three prisoners who escaped from the St. Croix Correctional Facility in Wisconsin Wednesday night.

Two of the escapees were caught Friday in Wisconsin. Police nabbed the third fugitive — Jesse Jamal Fairly — Saturday morning in the 1600 block of Plymouth Avenue North in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Police spokesperson John Elder said the suspect surrendered peacefully.

The St. Croix Correctional Center is a minimum security prison in New Richmond, Wis., about 16 miles northeast of Stillwater.
