An incarcerated person named Rosario Castro decided that being incarcerated wasn't his thing, so he walked away from his Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) outing in San Diego County, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
Castro's abrupt disappearance from the MCRP sparked an intensive search effort involving the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and local law enforcement agencies. The hunt for the escaped prisoner continues.
Castro, a convicted for carjacker and vehicle theft second striker, was last seen at 11:04 a.m. at the Senior Citizens Care Facility in Chula Vista, California, where he was visiting on an approved community pass according to CDCR.
The Male Community Reentry Program, designed to facilitate the reintegration of incarcerated individuals into society, has seen its fair share of successes and failures over the years. Historically, 99 percent of all incarcerated people who have left an adult institution, camp, or community-based program without permission since 1977 have been apprehended.
According to the CDCR report, Castro had last been seen in Chula Vista wearing a gray t-shirt, dark gray cargo shorts, and black tennis shoes.
