Inmate Escapes Reentry Program In San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, CA — Authorities were searching for a female inmate from Riverside County who walked away from a prison re-entry facility in San Diego County.

Officials were alerted shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday that Angel Rayburn, 37, had tampered with her ankle monitor and walked out of a Female Community Reentry Program facility, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. An emergency count confirmed that Rayburn was missing.

The CDCR's Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement agencies were immediately notified and were assisting in the search.

Rayburn is white, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 155 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen near the intersection of Kearny Mesa Road and Armstrong Street in San Diego, according to the CDCR. She was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants and white sneakers.

Rayburn was originally received from Riverside on Feb. 14 to serve a three-year sentence for evading a peace officer while driving the wrong way, assault with any means likely to produce great bodily injury to a peace officer/firefighter, and buying/receiving stolen vehicle/trailer/construction equipment.

She has been housed at the Female Community Reentry Program in San Diego since Aug. 14.

Anyone with information about Rayburn's whereabouts was asked to contact law enforcement agency, call 911, or contact Special Agent Guillermo Lopez at 619-666-5523.

The reentry program allows eligible inmates with two years or less left of their prison sentence to serve the rest of their sentence in the community. Since 1977, 99% of all people who have left an adult institution, camp or community-based program without permission have been apprehended, according to the CDCR.
