Pryor had escaped custody while being taken to a hospital for a hand injury and was later seen on surveillance video at various locations in the city. An 18-year-old, Michael Diggs, was also charged with helping Pryor escape. Pryor and a co-defendant have been in custody since 2020 for the murder in the Holmesburg section of Northeast Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Detention Center Inmate Escapes During Work Detail: Manhunt Underway

An inmate has escaped from the Philadelphia Detention Center in the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia, prompting a massive search. The escape was reported just before 1 p.m., and the inmate is described as a white male in his 30s. This incident follows a previous high-profile escape from the nearby Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center earlier this year, where two inmates escaped through a gap in the fence. The district attorney revealed that the gap had been noticed by prison staff days before the escape, and a guard was found to be asleep during the incident.
