Follow-Up: Inmate Savedra Apprehended After Walking Away From Pelican Bay State Prison
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) announced on November 12 that an incarcerated person who walked away from the Minimum Support Facility at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, Del Norte County, California, has been apprehended.
CDCR said Primitivo X. Savedra, 32, was apprehended on November 12 at approximately 9:48 a.m. by the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office without incident. His case will be referred for possible escape charges.
Savedra walked away from the prison's Minimum Support Facility on November 11. At about 11 p.m. that night, officers discovered during a regular count that he was unaccounted for. An emergency count confirmed he was missing, and CDCR's Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement began searching for him.
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.
CDCR said the Minimum Support Facility is a Level I, minimum-security unit located outside the main secure perimeter. It houses lower-security, non-violent incarcerated people in a dormitory-style setting who support daily institutional operations, maintenance, and groundskeeping. Pelican Bay State Prison, activated in 1989, houses approximately 2,100 incarcerated people across custody levels, is located 13 miles from the Oregon-California border, and employs approximately 1,400 people. CDCR said that since 1977, 99 percent of the incarcerated people who have escaped or walked away from an adult institution, camp, or community rehabilitative program placement have been apprehended.
