BALI, Indonesia — Authorities have recaptured an American man who escaped from an overcrowded and understaffed prison on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, police said Sunday. Pramestia said Beasley was recaptured on Saturday in an alley near a beach on Lombok after a five-day manhunt. It was the second escape from the prison since June, when four foreign inmates escaped through a drainage tunnel. The two others, Shaun Edward Davidson of Australia and Tee Koko King bin Tee Kim Sai of Malaysia, are still at large. Jailbreaks are common in Indonesia, where prisons are overcrowded with people convicted of drug crimes as part of the government’s anti-drug crusade.
