Xavier Hosea Shaw, 45, was serving time for kidnapping and robbery convictions when he escaped June 30 from an inmate crew building an addition to Alexander Correctional Institution in western North Carolina. He hid inside a truck at the work site, authorities said.
Xavier Shaw's mother and sister live in the area, and his sister said they cooperated with the search.
Raleigh police officers captured Shaw on July 11 near New Bern Avenue and New Hope Church Road, nearly 20 miles away from his family's home.
