SAN DIEGO (CNS) – An inmate who walked away from a rehabilitation program in San Diego was apprehended, authorities said today.<\/p>\n
According to a news release from the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 70-year-old Randy Seitzinger — serving a 15-year sentence on felony convictions — left the Male Community Reentry Program on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The program allows convicted people to voluntarily serve the end of their sentences in a community setting, rather than behind bars, according to the CDCR.<\/p>\n
Seitzinger was received from Orange County on May 22, 2019, after being sentenced for second-degree robbery and false imprisonment with violence, according to the CDCR.<\/p>\n
The man “was taken into custody on Friday in La Jolla without incident by officers from the CDCR Office of Correctional Safety,” officials said.<\/p>\n
Since 1977, 99% of inmates “who have escaped or walked away from an adult institution, camp, in-state contract bed or community rehabilitative program placement have been apprehended,” according to the CDCR.<\/p>\n
