Officials have confirmed that an inmate from River City Correctional Center who escaped custody last Saturday night was found and placed back in custody. Adam Cadet, 33, managed to slip away from authorities while being transported back to the facility from UC Medical Center. Executive Director Scott McVey stated that Cadet was returned to the correctional center the same evening. This report comes from WLWT, which followed the incident closely. Their original story detailed the initial escape and subsequent search effort by police.
The Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) responded quickly after River City staff notified them of Cadet's escape. According to WLWT, the police were successful in their search, apprehending Cadet and ensuring he was brought back to incarceration promptly. The escaped inmate was apparently on the run for a brief period before being found by authorities.
Scott McVey gave no specific details regarding the timeline of the Cadet's absence from the facility, a point noted in the coverage by local news outlet WCPO. Information on how the Cadet escaped while in transport has not been made public. However, a statement obtained by WCPO confirmed that the escape occurred around 10 p.m. last Saturday, triggering the search.
River City Correctional Center has been collaborating with local law enforcement to review the incident and prevent future escapes, as McVey told FOX19 in a report. Details of the investigation into the escape are still forthcoming. Still, according to FOX19's coverage, the correctional center staff was quick to alert the Cincinnati police, who played a crucial role in swiftly locating and apprehending the fugitive inmate.
The brief escape of Cadet raises questions about transportation security measures at the River City Correctional Center. Community members and authorities alike are likely to look for answers in the coming days as the facility reassesses protocols to ensure the safe conveyance of inmates. The incident underscores the constant need for vigilance and improvement in correctional security systems.
