Prison Official's Email Warns of Danelo Cavalcante's Escape Plan
An email exchange between prison officials reveals that a sergeant had warned the acting warden that convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante had been "planning an escape" for months before his breakout from Chester County Prison in August. The email, obtained by CNN, shows that the information was forwarded to the acting warden, but it is unclear how the prison internally handled the information. The escape led to a two-week manhunt and raised concerns about security at the prison. The county has since changed its escape risk policy and terminated the corrections officer who failed to notice or report Cavalcante's escape.
