Uili Manuleleua was one of four incarcerated at Tafa'igata Prison who broke out just a few days before Christmas last year.
Two were recaptured just a few hours later and a third a few weeks later.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said a few weeks ago that Police were "tracing the prisoner".
Samoa police spokesman Auapa'au Logoitino Filipo said Manuleleua has been convicted of theft and breaking and entering.
