Chester County prison officials had 'concerns about the leadership' a year before convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante's escape.
Danelo Cavalcante was taken into custody on Sept. 13, 2023, after escaping from a prison in Chester County, Pa., two weeks prior.
He added that Cavalcante was “one of the worst prisoners we have had in terms of crimes they committed.”Maxwell said the board’s concerns a year ago prompted them to hire third-party consultants to evaluate conditions at the prison. “Ultimately, corrective actions that were tasked to the previous warden were not satisfactorily undertaken.”
Maxwell noted in the event of any future escape, ReadyChesCo, the county’s notification system for residents, will be activated at the same time as the escape alarms.
