Two Realignment Inmates Escape from Sonoma Jail: Mary Callahan of the Press Democrat has this article on the escape of two realignment inmates from the Sonoma County jail on Wednesday. Three inmates, who were the laundry crew on that night, had previously identified a vulnerable portion in the jail's fence and, after a month of planning, attempted to escape when their supervisor turned her back. While climbing over the non-electrified fence, one of the inmates, Serefino Uriel Gonzalez-Reyes, was pulled off the fence and subdued by a correctional officer; the other two, Rene Solorio Leon and Julie Adrian Martinez-Bautista, escaped. Jail officials are reconsidering security needs to handle realignment inmates, including modifications to toughen barriers around the jail. The search for Leon and Martinez-Bautista continues.
