TOLLESON, ARIZ. — California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials today announced an offender who walked away from the Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) in Los Angeles on Feb. 14, 2024, has been apprehended.
On April 15, 2024, at approximately 6:15 p.m., a United States Marshals Task Force took Adolfo Casillas into custody without incident. The apprehension took place as a result of information gathered by CDCR’s Office of Correctional Safety.
Casillas will be booked into a Maricopa County jail where he will await extradition to California.
Casillas was received from Los Angeles County on Aug. 19, 2019. He was sentenced to 14 years for attempted second-degree murder with an enhancement of the Street Gang Act in commission of a serious felony.
The MCRP allows eligible people committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the re-entry center and provides them the programs and tools necessary to transition from custody to the community. It is a voluntary program for men who have two years or less left to serve. The program links people to a range of community-based rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorders, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support.
Since 1977, 99 percent of all offenders who have left an adult institution, camp or community-based program without permission have been apprehended.
