Authorities say 27-year-old Eloy Sanchez was not present during the 6:30 p.m. prisoner count on Sunday at Jones Farm State Correction Institute, located at 721 Bear Tavern Road.
Search teams were dispatched at 7:00 p.m. and a command post was activated.
Corrections Department spokesman Deidre Fedkenheuer tells The Times of Trenton that Eloy Sanchez was found in nearby Hamilton, New Jersey on Tuesday afternoon.
Sanchez began serving a one-year sentence for robbery on January 30th.
A parole hearing that was scheduled for October will be canceled and Sanchez could face an additional five years in prison because of the escape.
