Hi! I live in Orangevale and I had cops come to my house last night telling me not to answer my door because a prisoner had escaped. I haven't seen anything on the news, but I did see helicopters last night with their search lights on... does anyone have any information?? I think the prison was on lock-down on Sunday.
Just curious!

You should call the orangevale PD and ask if they sent any police out to your neighborhood last night to warn people of this.

I would think that residents living closer to the prison would have been alerted first and it would have been in the news.

Perhaps it was a person that was detained by a police officer who then escaped?

Or, perhaps it was a person faking the whole PD thing in order to case your home. Did you see a police vehicle outside your home?

Hey--maybe I'm wrong and there was an escape last night--but I kinda am thinking not.

The prison is (was?) on lockdown after a riot a day or 2 ago but there were no escapes. Although Orangevale is a good place to go after an escape, cops going door to door randomly warning people seems unlikely. I think they were casing your house, better call the real PD and see what was really up.

i couldn't find anything either... ?? But, it was a sheriff vehicle. Just curious to see if anyone in Folsom would've known anything. But.. I wasn't too worried about it since it wasn't on the news. Who knows! It was strange!

What time last night because we didn't get any escapee reports?

Call the Sheriff's department and report the incident. If it wasn't on the news, you should be doubly worried about why someone would come to your door related to a non-event. It doesn't hurt you to report/inquire about this, and the Sheriff's department may benefit from your information.

I saw a helicopter and a lot of sheriff's vehicles in the ovale area driving home last night around 5pm. It's possible that it was someone in Sheriff's custody that escaped and not a Folsom Prison escape... unless they specifically said so when they came to your door.

I live on the orangevale side of Folsom and heard nothing of an escape....I think you may be right about it being someone in Sheriff custody.

I think it would be good if folsom had a siren that would go off to warn about an escape. lots of towns have sirens but mostly to alert the volunteer firemen about a fire.

but then most towns don't have prisons, but we don't have a volunteer fire department so a siren would just be for escapes.

I wonder if fiesty kerri could get us one

Was it this guy?

How long has it been since somebody escaped from Folsom Prison?

I thought the folsom prison did have an air siren they can use for notifying local resident sof escapes?
Though I would probably think it is their normal shift change horn sounding off if I heard it.
I would probably find out quicker by getting an automated phone call from the school --if something like that happened.
I know that Folsom has a volunteer police group--I would have thought they also have a volunteer firemens group as well.

Heh--anyone?

The way we used to know the prison was looking for somebody was when the prison vans would circle the neighborhood driving slowly. Usually it was somebody that walked away from a minimum security work crew and not an actual prison break.

The last escape I know of was in 1987 when Glen Godwin climbed through the storm drain and escaped with the help of a cellmate and his girlfriend. He used an inflatable raft to cross the river. He was later captured in Mexico for drug trafficking but escaped again from a Mexican prison and, I think, has never been captured.
