Chester County officials say prison security is being bolstered after Cavalcante escape

Chester County officials said security upgrades had been made to the facility convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante escaped from after he was captured on Wednesday, but that security contractors were further reviewing procedures. 

"Chester County Prison officials have made some immediate changes to bolster security in the prison," the Chester County Commissioners' Office said in a news statement on Wednesday. 

On Aug. 31, at around 8:33 a.m., surveillance footage at Chester County Prison showed Cavalcante, 34, walk to a back wall in the exercise yard area in the C block and press his feet against the wall until he was fully horizontal. He then climbed up the wall until he disappeared from view.
