According to the Correctional Service of Canada, Legge was immediately apprehended by staff.
In a news release, CSC said it will investigate the circumstances surrounding the escape and recapture.
Media reports say Legge is serving a life sentence for the second-degree murder of his former partner in Newfoundland back in 2003.
