Interestingly, it was just remaining four months before the completion of an earlier seven-year sentence before he decided to escape.
He successfully made it out of the facility in 2022 but went into crime again as he broke into a nearby home and held three people at gunpoint for hours.
Huffman also stole a car from one of the people he held hostage and crashed it while driving away, Daily Mail reports.
It was after then that Huffman was rearrested by the authorities, where he was hiding in a trash can. He has pleaded guilty to two counts of kidnapping.
He has now been sentenced to 40 years in prison. The story has shocked many people on social media.
Some are asking why Huffman tried to escape when he was leaving in four months.
The story was later reposted on Twitter by Daily Loud, and it got a lot of reactions.
