CHICAGO— A convicted bank robber captured days after a daring escape from a high-rise jail in downtown Chicago will likely return to the same federal lockup, though this time he probably will be held in a special isolation unit, his attorney said Friday.

Joseph ‘‘Jose’’ Banks, 37, made an initial appearance in court, shackles on his legs, arms, and wrists clanging as he shuffled in. He appeared tired but calm, saying ‘‘yes’’ when a judge asked if he understood he had been charged with escaping from a jail just two blocks from the courthouse.
