Inmate Primitivo Savedra Walks Away from Pelican Bay State Prison; CDCR Searching
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) announced on November 12 that incarcerated person Primitivo X. Savedra walked away on November 11 from the Minimum Support Facility at Pelican Bay State Prison (PBSP) in Crescent City, Del Norte County, California, and that CDCR's Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement are searching for him.
At about 11 p.m. on November 11, officers discovered during a regular count that Savedra was unaccounted for. An emergency count was initiated and confirmed that he was missing. CDCR said its Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement have been notified and are assisting in the search.
Savedra, 32, is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 168 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a gray shirt with gray sweats and a gray beanie. Anyone who sees Savedra or has any knowledge of his whereabouts should immediately contact law enforcement, call 911, or contact Special Agent Singh at 707-513-0068.
Savedra was most recently received from San Joaquin County on November 23, 2020. He was sentenced to 12 years for first-degree robbery, a second-strike offense, with enhancements for use of a firearm and for committing a felony in association with a criminal street gang.
The Minimum Support Facility at PBSP is a Level I, minimum-security unit located outside the main secure perimeter. It houses lower-security incarcerated people in a dormitory-style setting who support daily institutional operations, maintenance and groundskeeping. Activated in 1989, PBSP houses approximately 2,100 incarcerated people and employs approximately 1,400 people, 13 miles from the Oregon-California border. 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, CDCR said.
