A man who escaped from the custody of the Gerald R. Hinzman Residential Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the second time was sentenced on January 6, 2020, to more than a year in federal prison.

Jamie Goad, age 30, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, received the prison term after an October 17, 2019 guilty plea to escape from custody. 

Goad’s first federal sentence of imprisonment was imposed on December 23, 2010, after he pled guilty to being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.  While on supervised release in that case, Goad escaped from the custody of the Hinzman Center on December 11, 2013.  After he pled guilty to escape from custody, he was sentenced to prison in that case on August 25, 2014.  While on supervised release this time, he escaped from the Hinzman Center for the second time on January 8, 2019.     

Goad was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams.  Goad was sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment.  He must also serve a one-year term of supervised release after the prison term.  There is no parole in the federal system.  Goad is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kyndra Lundquist and investigated by the United States Marshals Service.  Court file information at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl.
