JRTs dig, that is part of their breed make-up. Yours has found out that there is a reward to be found by digging out from under the fence. The best thing you can do now is to keep him in a cement floor kennel when you can't stay with him in the yard. Inconvenient maybe, but safe.

you can buy some kind of repelant at the pet store to keep animals away from an area, its like pelets. It worked on my cats.

Save yourself and your dog anguish. Get some quickcrete in bags at Home Depot. You can either mix it like the directions say or since I didn't have that ability I just dug down about an 1" or 2" and the width of a flat shovel and pour the quickcrete in the ditch all around the entire fence - then I watered it in. It's been four years now and no more escapes (under the fence anyway)
