Neighbors from communities across Chester County packed a meeting Wednesday held by the county's board of prisons, nearly a week after the frantic manhunt for escaped killer Danelo Cavalcante came to an end.
Cavalcante, 34, was taken down by a swarm of law enforcement agents near a tractor supply business in the countryside town of South Coventry. Cavalcante freed himself from Chester County Prison on Aug. 31 by acrobatically climbing up the wall of a narrow corridor in a prison yard and onto the roof where he fled the prison grounds.
Officials from Chester County Prison shared photos of improvements that were made to areas where two inmates, including Danelo Cavalcante, managed to escape. Officials also shared photos of improvements made to shore up the area where Cavalcante escaped. Metal mesh now covers the area where he was able to climb onto the roof of the prison, and bushels of razor wire line the tops of the walls around the narrow hallway where Cavalcante climbed.
