STOCKTON ― A correctional officer was injured after an inmate attack in a facility walkway at California Health Care Facility (CHCF) Tuesday.

At approximately 1:37 p.m., an inmate left a housing unit at CHCF and entered a walkway, where correctional officers instructed him to return to his housing unit. The inmate refused the direct order and struck a correctional officer in the face with his fist. He continued down the walkway, refusing all orders to get down. Two members of CHCF custody staff utilized a baton and physical force to bring the inmate to the ground and place him in restraints.

The officer who was struck in the face was treated at an outside hospital and required five sutures to his lower lip. He was released from the hospital Tuesday and returned to duty Wednesday.

The inmate sustained a scratch on his forehead and was rehoused in an Administrative Segregation Unit after a medical evaluation.

CHCF was opened in 2013 and provides medical care and mental health treatment to inmates who have the most severe and long-term needs. CHCF employs approximately 3,600 people and provides secure housing and treatment for approximately 2,400 inmates.

The 1.4 million square foot facility is certified to provide intermediate-level care and to complement less-acute treatment provided in other prisons operated by CDCR. The 54-building complex is located in South Stockton on the sites of the former Karl Holton and DeWitt Nelson Youth Correctional Facilities.

DELANO – Officials at Kern Valley State Prison (KVSP) are investigating two separate serious batteries on staff that occurred early in the morning of April 17, 2017. 

At about 6:40 a.m. in Facility A, two correctional officers were escorting inmate Steven Corotan, 40, up a flight of stairs to his cell. Corotan began arguing with staff, refusing to enter his cell. One of the officers ordered him to submit to handcuffs and Corotan punched him in the face, knocking the officer down the stairs and into the dayroom. At the same time Corotan’s cellmate, Raul Alvarado, 44, ran from the cell and joined in battering the officers. Responders utilized less-lethal 40mm rounds, pepper spray, physical force and a baton to quickly quell the attack.

One officer was transported to an outside hospital due to loss of consciousness. He is being treated for a broken sinus.

Alvarado was transported to an outside hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening head injury.

At about 7:10 a.m. in Facility A, officers were processing inmates from the dining hall back to their assigned cells when inmate Jesus Vasquez, 39, punched an officer in the face. He refused to comply with orders to stop and resisted staff. Physical force, a baton and pepper spray were used to gain compliance. Several officers were injured during the incident; however, none required treatment at an outside hospital.

Vasquez was transported to an outside hospital for treatment of facial injuries and was returned to KVSP.

Corotan was received by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) in July 1994 from San Diego County to serve life with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder. Alvarado was received by CDCR in July 1991 from Los Angeles County to serve life with the possibility of parole for second-degree murder. Vasquez was received by CDCR February of 2002 from San Diego County to serve life with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder.

Prison officials have limited inmate movement on Facility A as the attacks are thoroughly investigated. All involved inmates have been rehoused in KVSP’s Administrative Segregation Unit during the investigation.

KVSP opened in 2005 and houses 3,946 minimum-, medium-, maximum- and high-security custody inmates. KVSP offers academic classes and vocational programs and employs approximately 1,800 people. For more information, visit www.cdcr.ca.gov.

FOLSOM – Officials at California State Prison-Sacramento (SAC) are investigating an inmate attack that injured a correctional officer.

At around 2:40 p.m. Friday, April 21, a correctional officer was conducting security checks in a housing unit when inmate Pablo Melendez, 37, began aggressively running toward the officer, wielding an inmate-manufactured weapon in each hand. Melendez began assaulting the officer, who immediately used physical force to subdue the attacker. Two officers working in the same unit responded and attempted to separate Melendez and the injured officer, and were warned the inmate had weapons. As Melendez attempted to attack the officers, they were able to quickly disarm him and place him in restraints.

The injured officer was transported to an outside hospital for treatment of puncture wounds to the leg and head, lacerations to the head and arm, and scratches. The officer, who required eight sutures to the arm, was released later that night and is recovering at home.

Melendez was transported to an outside hospital for treatment of fractured ribs, bruising, swelling and abrasions. He was returned to SAC that night, where he has been placed in segregated housing as the attack is being investigated.

Melendez was received by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from Los Angeles County in 2011 to serve 98 years to life with the possibility of parole for kidnapping and lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old.

San Diego — California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials are looking for Israel Hernandez, 27, who walked away from the Male Community Re-entry Program (MCRP) facility in San Diego on Thursday, May 11, 2017.

An emergency search was conducted after being notified at approximately 4:20 a.m. that Hernandez’s GPS device had been tampered with, and that he had been seen exiting the back door by staff. Hernandez’s GPS device was found in an adjacent parking lot.

Notification was immediately made to local law enforcement agencies. Within minutes, agents from CDCR’s Office of Correctional Safety were dispatched to locate and apprehend Hernandez.

Hernandez is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 207 pounds. He was received by CDCR from San Diego County in November 2016 with a two-year eight month sentence for vehicle theft as a second striker. Hernandez was transferred to the MCRP in San Diego in March. He was scheduled to be released to probation in March 2018. 

Anyone who sees Hernandez or has any knowledge of his whereabouts should immediately contact law enforcement or call 911.

The MCRP allows eligible offenders committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the re-entry center and provides them the programs and tools necessary to transition from custody to the community. It is a voluntary program for male offenders who have approximately one year left to serve. The program links offenders to a range of community-based rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorders, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support.

Since 1977, 99 percent of all offenders who have left an adult institution, camp, or community-based program without permission have been apprehended.

IONE ― Mule Creek State Prison (MCSP) officials are investigating the attempted murder of a correctional officer that occurred Sunday afternoon in Facility A during a recreation yard release.

At 12:31 p.m., inmate Brian Jones, 28, came out of his cell and asked the floor officer, “What’s up?” Jones then punched the officer in the face and struck him multiple times in the head and in the back under his protective vest with an inmate-made weapon.

Responding staff used physical force, batons, and pepper spray to quell the incident.

The battered officer suffered multiple stab wounds to the back of his head, one stab wound to his ribs and a laceration under his left eye. Additional stab wounds were prevented by his protective vest. He was transported to an outside hospital and released Sunday night, receiving sutures for the laceration under his eye.

Three other officers also sustained injuries during the incident and were treated at outside hospitals and released. Two officers suffered injured knees in the incident and a third injured his hand.

All the officers involved are expected to make full recoveries from their injuries.

Inmate movement is limited as the MCSP Investigative Services Unit examines the incident.

While being treated for minor injuries after the attack, Jones became aggressive and uncooperative, ultimately pushing his wheelchair over backwards, causing an injury to the back of his head that required treatment for bleeding.

Jones was later transferred to California State Prison, Sacramento (CSP-SAC).

Jones was received into CDCR custody on July 8, 2014 from Sacramento County to serve a 58-years-to-life sentence with the possibility of parole for First Degree Murder.

MCSP opened in 1987, houses 3,619 inmates and employs approximately 1,700 people.
