The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the attempted escape of an inmate from the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas - one who was trying to leave so fast, he left his jail-issued sandals clinging from the fence.
The failed attempt, first reported by NBC Bay Area, happened Sunday afternoon, according to Santa Clara County Sheriff's Sgt. James Jensen. Newly installed video cameras helped a deputy spot the inmate climbing and then falling from the "candy cane" fencing. Jensen said he will be charged in connection with the attempted escape.
Sources told NBC Bay Area on Monday the inmate made it over the first line of security fencing, but was arrested before he climbed over the second fence that surrounds the perimeter of Elmwood.
The sheriff’s office has not identified the inmate. He suffered some injuries during the fall. \ The cameras were only recently installed, after an NBC Bay Area report citing the lack of cameras along Elwmood’s perimeter.
He needs to go to jail.
How many times did that inmate’s Mother tell him, “Sensible shoes Johnny! Sensible shoes!”
