SACRAMENTO, CA - Arlene Barrera Barragan, escaped from a reentry facility in 1991, but has been recently arrested, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced.

Barragan, convicted in Kings County, was in her second year of a four-year sentence for selling controlled substances when she escaped 15 years ago. A Fugitive Apprehension Team agent with the CDCR's Office of Correctional Safety developed leads that linked Barragan to Avenal and discovered where she was living.

The Kings County Sheriff's Department was contacted who, after making a few inquiries, located and arrested Barragan. She was booked in the Kings County Jail.

“As part of our commitment to public safety we never stop looking for offenders who escape our custody or supervision,” said Rick Rimmer, Assistant Secretary of the CDCR Office of Correctional Safety.

According to the CDCR, 99 percent of the inmates who escaped from a state prison, conservation camp or community-based program between 1975 and 2005 have been apprehended.
