ADOC listed Kyle’s custody type as "minimum-out," which it defines as an inmate that does not pose a significant risk to himself or to others and is suitable to be assigned off-property work details without the direct supervision of correctional officers.
Kyle was booked into the Cherokee County Detention Center on charges of escape and was expected to be held there until ADOC transports him back to prison, the sheriff’s office said.
