Jason Hoganson, 53, was released from Durham Prison on September 10, as one of around 1,700 inmates freed to create more space in Britain's overcrowded jails.
But the next day he was arrested in Newcastle's West End on suspicion of two counts of breaching a restraining order and one count of assault.
Now he is being recalled to prison again after breaching his licence conditions.
Officers warned anyone who sees him not to approach.
Police said: "We are asking for help to locate Jason Hoganson.
"Hoganson, 53, is wanted for recall to prison for breaching his licence conditions.
"It is believed that Hoganson is actively evading arrest and that he could be anywhere in our Force area or County Durham.
"Anyone who sees Hoganson should not approach him and instead contact us immediately.
"Please be aware that harbouring a wanted person is an offence and those involved could face prosecution.
"Anyone with information on Hoganson’s whereabouts should send us a direct message on social media, use the live chat function on our website or call 101 immediately.
