Prison officials look for inmate who walked away from Stockton reentry program

California is looking for an inmate that prison officials say walked away from a reentry program. 

Prison officials are looking for Estefani Saldana-Lemus, 27, who left the program in Stockton. 

Driving the news: Saldana-Lemus was transferred from Fresno County in March 2023 to serve a five-year sentence for driving under the influence causing bodily injury or death. 

• She is five-foot-one, weighs 222 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair. 

The big picture: The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) said Sunday that Saldana-Lemus was reported missing after a routine security check Sunday night. 

• Staff immediately launched a search and conducted an emergency count at the Female Community Reentry Program. 
• The CDCR said that 99 percent of all people who have left an adult institution, camp or community-based program without permission since 1977 have been apprehended.
