Escaped Inmate Still On The Lam

SOLANO COUNTY, CA – A prison inmate who allegedly walked away from a minimum-security medical facility in Vacaville late Sunday night is still on the loose today, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

The inmate, Jarvis Brown, 29, was last seen in his bunk at the California Medical Facility at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday but was missing during a head count at 12:30 a.m. Monday, according to corrections officials.

He is described as a black man with black hair and brown eyes. He is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds, according to corrections officials.

California Medical Facility houses roughly 2,500 inmates, some of whom are there for medical or psychiatric treatment, and some are there as part of minimum-security firefighter or office staff work crews, corrections
officials said.

Corrections officers, Vacaville police and officers from the California Highway Patrol are working together to locate and apprehend Brown.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911.

Since 1977, 99 percent of all offenders who have left an adult institution, camp or community-based program without permission have been apprehended, the agency said.
