A federal inmate accidentally released from Silverdale Correctional Facility on Sunday morning is back in custody, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Brenen Andrew Murphy was being detained on federal drug charges, and officials are not saying how he was mistakenly released from the facility operated by Corrections Corporation of America.

This is not the first time an inmate has been mistakenly released from Silverdale this year. In June, Rodney Akins was accidentally released from the facility.
