prison escapee
Jail breaker loose
A prison escapee is someone who has escaped from prison or jail.
The term emphasizes their status as a fugitive—someone who broke out and remains at large: Police are searching for a prison escapee believed to be in the area.
Escapee can sound slightly redundant since escape already implies the person got away, but the form is standard.
