Morris has been serving a sentence for burglary.
He was last seen wearing a white shirt and blue shorts and "is no longer wearing handcuffs or shackles," police said. He is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 130-140 pounds and is bald, with a beard. Anyone who sees him should call 911, police said.
Morris is at least the second inmate on the loose in the greater Maryland/Virginia region in less than a week.
Authorities are continuing to search for 21-year-old Naseem Roulack, who escaped from a hospital early Saturday in Henrico County, Virginia.
