Inmate Stopped From Escape at Elmwood in Milpitas: Sheriff's Spokesman

MILPITAS, CA — An inmate was caught attempting to escape from Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas on Sunday, a Santa Clara County sheriff's spokesman said.

A deputy watching security video cameras recently installed at the facility located at 701 S. Abel St. saw the inmate climb up and fall from a fence that surrounds the jail, sheriff's Sgt. James Jensen said.

Deputies stopped the inmate, who they gave first aid at the scene before he was transported to a medical facility for further treatment, Jensen said.

The inmate, identified as Christopher Boscacci, is expected to face an additional charge for the alleged attempted escape, according to Jensen.
