The minimum security facility, also known as a satellite camp, is adjacent to the medium security federal penitentiary in Lompoc. In recent years, more than a dozen inmates have walked away from the Lompoc prison camp.
It is unclear how many of the fugitives have been apprehended.
SLO will welcome him.
First we let them wander freely into the state, then when convicted of a crime they get a pass or just walk out of prison. CA is giving the majority of the country a lot to laugh about.
It’s OK, he’s in the great sanctuary state of CA.
