(Salem, OR) -- An inmate who escaped from the Oregon State Hospital by stealing a vehicle has been sentenced. In 2023, Christopher Pray was being returned to the State Hospital. Two staff members were helping him unbuckle from his seat when he jumped into the front seat of the vehicle and sped away, causing a minor injury to one of the staff. Two days later, Pray was found stuck in a muddy bog in Portland and arrested. He was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for the escape. The sentence will run concurrent with his 22-year sentence on unrelated charges.
