Manhunt underway for escaped Georgia inmate

The Georgia Department of Corrections is looking for an inmate they say escaped from a work detail in Albany.

Dorcell Wilson was in the Albany Transitional Center on burglary charges when he escaped.

Wilson is described as 6-foot-2, weighing 203 pounds with black hair. The GDOC said he could be wearing “civilian clothing.”

Anyone who sees Wilson is asked to call 911.
