An email exchange made public this week shows that a prison guard had warned convicted murderer Danilo Cavalcante was planning to escape a month before the act was carried out
October 17, 2023 at 12:55 pm PDTA vehicle leaves the Chester County Correctional Complex as the search continues for Danilo Cavalcante in Pocopson Township, Pa., on Sept. 3, 2023. According to an email exchange hours after the Aug. 31 escape of a convicted murderer from the Chester County jail, a prison guard had warned in July that Cavalcante was a flight risk. Cavalcante remained free for two weeks amid a massive manhunt before his recapture last month.
County spokesperson Rebecca Brain said in a statement that the three people mentioned in the emails, which were first reported by ABC News,"wanted to ensure Acting Warden Holland knew that information about an escape was previously noted.” Since the escape, Brain said, security measures inside the prison and during prisoner transport off prison property have been strengthened, including assigning different-color clothing for those deemed potential escape risks and monitoring by one or two corrections officers of each inmate outside of cells. Officials earlier vowed toCavalcante, 34, had been sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, in front of her children in 2021.
