A prisoner is on the run after escaping from a jail in far western NSW.

Neither did they disclose the offences for which Bugmy was serving time or how he managed to escape.

"He needs to be captured as soon as possible," Barrier Local Area Command crime manager Mick Stoltenberg said.
"I would urge anybody with any information to contact their local police station.
"Also, it's a perfect opportunity to give a reminder that anyone who is found to assist Bugmy or any other escapee whilst at large will be committing a criminal offence."
Anyone with information is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
