In a stunning prison escape caught on video, a convicted murderer from Pennsylvania managed to climb between two walls to reach the rooftop of the facility. This clever tactic, previously used by another inmate, highlights the critical security flaws in the prison system.
The surveillance video, released on Wednesday, shows Danelo Cavalcante meticulously maneuvering between the walls of the exercise yard in Chester County Prison. With his body stretched horizontally, he strategically positions his hands on one wall and his feet on the other, enabling him to scale the walls and disappear from view.
Shockingly, a tower guard who is currently on administrative leave failed to notice Cavalcante’s daring escape. It wasn’t until an hour later during an inmate count that the authorities realized he was missing. Howard Holland, the acting prison warden, admitted that their security measures were insufficient and vowed to rectify the situation.
This escape bears striking similarities to a previous incident in May, where another inmate named Igor Bolte also scaled two walls and was captured within five minutes. Following Bolte’s escape, razor wire was installed on the exercise yard’s rooftop to prevent further incidents. However, Cavalcante’s successful getaway underscores the need for additional reinforcements.
Howard Holland expressed his concerns about the situation and acknowledged the negative impact it has had on the community. The prison authorities are fully aware of the gravity of the escape and are determined to address the security shortcomings.
Cavalcante, who was recently sentenced to life in prison without parole for first-degree murder, fatally stabbed his former girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, in front of her children. The killing was allegedly committed to prevent Brandao from reporting him to the police for a previous slaying in Brazil. After Brandao’s death, Cavalcante was apprehended in Virginia while attempting to flee back to Brazil.
Sightings of Cavalcante have been reported five times since his escape, with the latest being captured on a trail camera at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, approximately 4 miles south of Chester County Prison.
