Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox prison Chester County Prison is a prison operated by Chester County, Pennsylvania located in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It has the capacity to hold 1,100 inmates, both men and women, and as of June 30, 2023, has a population of 702.[1]

The county prison drew national attention with the escape of inmate and Brazilian native Danilo Cavalcante on August 31, 2023.[2] After a 14-day Manhunt by the authorities, Danilo Cavalcante was apprehended under a pile of wood near South Coventry Township, Pennsylvania, on September 13, 2023.[3][4]

History

The Chester County Prison was built in 1959 to replace the previous county jail, which was declared unsafe in 1951. The new prison was designed to support medium and maximum security prisoners, with separate housing for male and female inmates, as well as juveniles. In 1983, parts of the prison were renovated and expanded. In 1993, a new Work Release Center was constructed on prison property.[5]

Incidents

On August 31, 2023, at 8:51Шаблон:NbspP.M. inmate Danilo Cavalcante escaped, using the same method as Bolte.[9] Cavalcante was to be transferred to a state prison to serve his life sentence for murder. Hundreds of law enforcement officers, including US Marshals, SWAT personnel, and personnel from local, state, and federal agencies, conducted a 14-day manhunt for Cavalcante which ended on September 13, 2023. During the night of September 11, 2023, Cavalcante stole a .22 caliber rifle, and two days later was captured in South Coventry Township, 23 miles away from the prison [10][11]
