For the second time this week, an inmate at the Unalaska jail has attempted escape and failed.

Christopher Hadsell, 23, was brought to the Unalaska courthouse by two police officers for a pre-indictment hearing and attempted to flee their custody shortly before 10am. Hadsell was in both handcuffs and leg restraints at the time, and was apprehended almost immediately. Back-up was requested, and Hadsell was ultimately transported back to the Unalaska jail by four officers.

Ironically, the court hearing that Hadsell fled from concerned an unsuccessful jailbreak that took place on Monday. Hadsell stands accused of faking a seizure to lure a corrections officer into his cell and then trying to lock that officer away. According to the Department of Public Safety, Hadsell was quickly apprehended in the cellblock hallway and would not have been able to make further progress.

Attempted escape from a correctional facility is a Class C felony and is punishable by up to five years in prison. According to deputy police chief Mike Holman, charging documents pegged to the second escape attempt will be filed this afternoon. Additionally, Hadsell faces felony charges for allegedly vandalizing the Church of the Holy Ascension and for attempting to cash a voided check from the fishing boat. He is also charged with the misdemeanor crimes of assault and trespassing. The alleged crimes took place over a span of two years and on a number of separate incidents.

According to Alaska statute, Hadsell could face at least 15 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

“[Jail time] will depend on sentencing recommendations from the [district attorney], if he is convicted,” says Holman. “And it will also depend on what the judge determines if he is convicted of any [charges] or all of them.”

Hadsell remains a high-risk prisoner and extra monitoring precautions are being made by the Department of Public Safety.
