A prisoner left his cell at the jail ward at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Tuesday morning before being located shortly after, authorities said.
According to the San Francisco Sheriff's Office, at 9:45 a.m. staffers at the hospital discovered that an inmate was not in his cell where deputies had checked on him minutes prior. The San Francisco Standard reported the inmate climbed up through a ceiling on the seventh-floor jail ward.
The incident comes days after complaints from sheriff's deputies about staffing issues. On April 13, the deputies' union demanded assistance Saturday from the California National Guard to solve what it characterized as a critical staffing shortage in the San Francisco County jails.
