Tuesday, November 10, 2026 · California · GSM News

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) announced on November 10 that an incarcerated woman who walked away from a Female Community Reentry Program in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, was apprehended the day after she left. The woman, Daniela Armienta, 29, is serving a six-year sentence for carjacking.

According to CDCR, at about 5 a.m. on November 9, staff received a tamper alert indicating that Armienta had removed her GPS device. Staff immediately launched an emergency count, which confirmed she was missing, and CDCR's Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement began searching for her.

On November 10, at approximately 9:40 a.m., Armienta was apprehended without incident in Los Angeles by the CDCR Office of Correctional Safety Special Services Unit. CDCR said her case will be referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney for possible escape charges.

Armienta was most recently received from San Diego County on January 22, 2025. She was sentenced to six years for carjacking, a second-strike offense. The Female Community Reentry Program is a voluntary program in which eligible incarcerated women serve the end of their sentences in the community in lieu of confinement in state prison.

CDCR said that since 1977, 99 percent of the incarcerated people who have escaped or walked away from an adult institution, camp, in-state contract bed, or community rehabilitative program placement have been apprehended.
