An inmate who stole a prison van and escaped got so lost that he called the police and asked to be taken back to jail.

Ronald Thomas, 38, escaped from a work gang on Tuesday while serving a 12-year burglary sentence at a state prison in north-west Oklahoma.

He drove the van 150 miles north to Garden City, Kansas, before he called authorities from a shop.

He was promptly arrested and now faces charges of escape and stealing a vehicle.
