Taylor County Inmate work crews are back out doing work.
The Sheriff's Department suspended the crews after an inmate escaped from a work crew vehicle just as it was re-entering the gate at the jail.
Authorities captured 22-year-old Dennis James Ingle just a short while after he jumped off the back of a bus on Dec. 5.
Each crew is now accompanied by two officers instead of just one, as was the previous practice.
