#Pennsylvania #Inmate #Prison
First!
Being first and not having chit to say… Congratulations 😂
second
I’m not surprised anymore
third
What good that’s going to do ant no jobs out for people don’t want to do that job👍
whoever designed the prison that way should be the one fired
@Jason Dauenbaugh Look in the mirror, wrong again there skippy try growing a pair
@M K — you make sure they never get another government contract, duh
You mean placing walls close enough so that a 5’ 4” man could walk up them like Spider-Man? Yeah. How could they not have seen THAT coming!
@CJ Laity it’s not how it works, it is the federal or state government that specifies what they want and sign off on it. I used to work for a company that installed ventilation equipment into prisons in the USA, every step of the process they tell us what they want, we deliver and install, they sign off
@M K — so? So if someone told you the design then someone designed it. Fire that person. Duh.
400 officers to find one man 😅
he must be really good at hiding
Plus dogs
Sounds like a job opening to me.
There is a shortage of Prison guards in prisons in many states
Guard the TOWER but please leave your phone 📱 off or another episode of an escape can happen.
Day 44: Danelo Cavalcante was spotted in Jupiter
He was on pornhub whacking his pee pee. 😂
Perfect stiff penalty for a prison officer.
Please find him!!!
You can run but you can’t hide. 😈
Well!?!?!? He’s doing a pretty good job of it!!! Against 10,000 law enforcement officers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s been almost 10 days and he still hasn’t found, so I’m guessing he can hide
Where is the picture of the FAT SLOB who wasn’t paying attention!!!
Way to blame a physical security issue on a guard. 😂
I used to work in a guard tower, know that youre on the bottom on the ladder, stay awake and alert. PS, a lot of staff sleep up there!
@Hubster sounds like a boring job. imagine being a tower guard at a supermax.
@Jemar right, a lot of the older guys like that job, no inmate contact.
Good 😂
Lol fired cause he failed to notice what if he was using the bathroom lol or better yet what if there was a diversion
There can be many real reasons as to why he didnt notice this guy
He wasn’t in the bathroom, obviously.
@Colton M lol
Em 10 dias da pra percorrer sem correr andando quantos KM?
5km per hour walking. But he must be hungry with no money
Sei lá!
Meanwhile, the prison director and warden enjoying the good life paid by taxpayer money.
Proof life never changes . when your 9 hide and go seek. When your 45 Tactical hide and seek, with snipers.
Is the digital map supported on Microsoft Windows?
Why???
Thanks NBC but this has been reported hours ago on non partisan news outlets. America is fully aware of your agenda. Gotta be careful with one sided corp news media propaganda machines, eh?
People are addicted to their phones these days and it’s horrendous
Funny how the slightest mishaps by some government workers can cost millions in tax dollars
‘ ! ❤️ ! ” Responsibility Matters for ALL Lives ” ! 🇺🇸 ! ‘
We need a wall at the border to keep foreigners like him out . Some lawbreakers want to come to the United States, because they thing we are soft on criminals.
Let me guess, the guard “fell asleep.” I’m surprised that the camera didn’t “malfunction.”
He learned that move from Michael Jackson (another real credit to society) but this guy just turned the moon walk.vertical…
densely wooded???? that longwood gardens is literally not near any forest ….
So actually the guard was the scapegoat for the authorities who didn’t build the prison properly…?!
Why don’t they use FLIR from the helicopters!? 🤲 (infrared)
What about the ones who gave chase to him and lost him ? lol
Get real .
They are just making him the scape goat.
400 officers vs 1 man, and the 1 man is winning
He was on his phone 📱 probably on TICTOK or IG well now he’s fired and has all day to be on SOCIAL Media 💯
He’ll be captured soon!!!!
Tower guard became the scapegoat. The problem was with the actual security gap that the prison administrators (management) didn’t fix when another poisoner had used the same method to escape onto the roof long before Cavalcante. Typical, management gets a pass. SMH.
he had one job but instead he was on his phone and not working
@ytzpilot they said he had a phone “not” he was on his phone. Also they failed to mentioned how the prison may be understaff as nearly all state prisons are and this leads to rounds being stretched out as well as checkpoint not being manned. Also who checked in the officer because they usually have to go through a metal detector. It is definitely a management issue.
Yup indeed, I agree! The only thing they fixed was installing barb wire. Ok you should block that whole section and not use wires
@PharmTech_TNThank you, Security expert! I can now rest at ease.
When wacking it in the guard tower goes wrong!!!
Even a ‘crab’ can’t climb that wall.
The escaped convict is in the United States illegally. Just awful.
“Take one for the team we’ll give you the pension”
What pension lol
Us army need him as navy seal experience surviving in jungle
A tower guard should notice an inmate running across the roof. I bet he had his face buried in his phone.
Yeh im sure its his fault. Probably 1/2 the manpower needed.
Guards need surveillance cameras on them for supervision. Watch the guards. Please.
The public should be thanking the prison guard. He exposed how the prison admins didn’t fix the glaring flaw of the building from the first escape and probably aren’t going to fix it after this. And exposing yet how incompetent law enforcement really are with all the millions of taxpayer funding they get militarizing themselves 🤣 What a joke.
…basically everyone who was on duty for the shift should be investigated as well
Should fire all them help he never gets caught
Get your pepper sprays ready. Shoot at any time you sight him.
The cops have everything that tax payers money can buy, yet the murdering escapee freely roams around their neighborhoods with only a stolen backpack.
“Correctional Officers” are the bottom of the barrel when a Prison Complex hires them all…. All one has to do is look @them, all dumb AF!
Fire the warden too
I don’t know why the opening wasn’t gated .. and than their still tower guards .. and than theirs motion detectors around outside the facility that should alert security if it’s not one of their own.. unless they don’t have motion security and they don’t have tower guards because that’s just bizarre how he can escape without nobody seeing him. .
I bet he well get away.
They ain’t finding him
A more rapid death penalty would be an easier resolution to such scum like this can’t really crawl out of that
Yeah. One dude. You telling me that yard was one dude in charge? Just one dude and a cellphone and that’s all it takes? A murderer from abroad. You officers are busted.
I thought jails had cell phone zappers….
You ask me, that dude deserves a week of freedom if only for walking up that wall. I’ve never seen that done outside of Batman movie!
Lol guard was on that OF 😂
He will probably make more money on unemployment.
Bloodhounds work great for this kind of thing
That job probably sucks anyways, they did him a favor
Guard was probably texting instead of watching. But the problem started when the inmate was able to crab-walk up the wall onto the roof… so fix the prison!
It’s not our loss,it’s the vulnerable people out there who don’t know what this perp can do!!!!
Hes in brizal or Mexico by now
He may stay hidden like Bigfoot 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽
Time to call Ben Crump
The prison officer was watching las cariñosas
You are talking Pennsylvania. Maybe he’s hiding amongst the Amish community. It makes me think of 80’s thriller classic movie “Witness” starring Harrison Ford.
I saw him at the airport
You’re Fired! Now name the stupid officer
Quintessential example of Krasner/Shapiro/Fettermans abilities and approach to law enforcement…nonexistent!
he now identifies as a non-prisoner
In the last week the escapee has shaved, eaten fruits and veggies, exercised and driven a car…he’s now my life coach
They’re trying to justify their useless a$$ spending and salaries. Why no dogs😢
He might pop up as a woman. Be careful!
He might hide dressed as a woman.
His head is gonna on the wall of the police station
Guns sales in Pennsylvania goes up, people will bear arms
Politicians do a lot worse and they are still in congress. Balanced😂
Heading to Mexico to work for a cartel.
Do you think the tower guard will even notice he’s been fired?
For those who have not worked in a prison, after working in 2 agencies, I found that often times the towers are assigned to officers who create problems when working with inmates. it’s a time out. When some officers weren’t going to get their lunch break relief, it was the towers because it takes longer to come up and down. So this tells me they aren’t concerned with putting the sharpest officers in the towers and keeping them sharp, rather leave then up there the whole shift with no break. In a tower, you have to be standing to see the ground below you. Theres a toilet in the tower and you don’t want people on the ground to see the officer sitting. Does anyone think someone is going to stand for 8 hours? No, With the slim chance of anything happening, you sit most of the time. Senior officers bid for the tower posts because its quiet and away from loud inmates. But inmates should not be able to get close to the outer perimeter fence/wall, at least without a detail officer on the ground present. It shouldn’t all depend on 1 officer in a tower.
