Moose Jaw police are changing their procedures after a man escaped from the city court house.

Police chief Rick Bourassa says two guards will now escort prisoners when they go to court, with a police officer also on hand.

A suspect was re-captured close to the courthouse about nine hours after the escape.

Police say a man facing a dangerous driving charge got away by overpowering a guard and taking the keys to his cell door.

Jamie Munroe, who is 20, is to appear in court on new charges later this month. (CKRM)
