An Irish man who escaped immigration detention in Brisbane by climbing down a rope of bedsheets has been recaptured and jailed.

The 26-year-old arrived on an international flight on March 13 and presented a fake UK passport to Border Force officers. He was detained, but two days later, tied bedsheets together and scaled down the side of a building.
