It is the third major security breach at the centre in as many weeks.
(ABC TV)A man who escaped from the Darwin detention centre on Friday night has been found and returned to custody.
The 28-year-old Burmese man was found by police in Darwin's northern suburbs at around 12:30am on Sunday.
It is the third major security breach at the centre in as many weeks.
Eighty-nine men escaped and held a protest on the road outside two weeks ago, while last month about 100 Indonesian men rioted at the centre.
Immigration Department spokesman Sandi Logan earlier said security at the centre is being reviewed.
"This is a matter of great concern to the department," he said.
"These are not jails that are in any way seeking to punish or to detain people on punitive grounds. But we do remain concerned that this escape has occurred and we do await a full report from the detention services provider.
"We don't believe that there is any risk posed to the Darwin community, we can reassure the community of that."
Serco, the company responsible for security at the centre, is preparing a report on the escape.
