An inmate who escaped from a Los Angeles facility was apprehended by authorities Saturday night.
Delina Phillips, 27, was serving her sentence at the Female Community Reentry Program facility when she escaped at around 2:40 p.m., according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Authorities launched a search of the buildings and grounds, but she was nowhere to be found.
She was described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 369 pounds. She has brown eyes and black hair and was last seen wearing a patterned black and white top, black leggings and purple Crocs shoes.
Phillips was admitted to the center on Nov. 9, 2023. She is serving eight years for attempted second-degree murder with an enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury. She was initially received from Imperial County.
At around 9:50 p.m.Saturday night, Phillips surrendered herself to CDCR authorities in Pacoima without incident. She will be rehoused at a prison and her case will be referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of escape charges.
Anyone with additional information can call Special Agent Daniel Tristan at 909-376-8204, their local law enforcement agency or simply dial 911.
The Female Community Reentry Program allows eligible offenders committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the reentry center to ease their transition from custody to the community. It is a voluntary program for female offenders who have two years or less left to serve.
CDCR officials said 99 percent of incarcerated people who have escaped or walked away from an adult institution, camp or facility have been apprehended.
