Steven Campos, 28, of Springfield, was serving 630 days for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, said Richard McCarthy, spokesman for the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department.
Campos was noticed missing at about 10:15 p.m. during a regular head count and returned to the Howard Street facility at about 12:20 a.m.. McCarthy said.
The Western Massachusetts Correctional Alcohol Center serves the four western counties. Formed in 1985, it was originally planned for the treatment of people with multiple drunken driving arrests. It has since been expanded to include treatment of those with addiction problems.
