Police said Ratt was last seen at around 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Ratt was described as five-foot-seven in height, weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. He has the word “crooks” tattooed on his right hand, and the words “stay fly” tattooed on his right arm, the RCMP said.
“Devon Ratt is known to travel to the La Ronge area, but his current whereabouts are unknown,” the Mounties said in a statement.
“Officers advise people in the Pinehouse area to be cautious of hitchhikers or people looking for a ride.”
Anyone who spots Ratt was advised not to approach him, and to report his whereabouts to police or make an anonymous report through Crime Stoppers.
Ratt is not the only inmate to escape the correctional camp in recent months. In April, the RCMP said they were looking for 26-year-old Kobe Kiseyinewakup, who was last seen by staff at the facility on April 14.
