Prison officials are searching for a minimum-security inmate who walked away from a Julian prison camp Monday, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The staff at La Cima Conservation Camp first noticed Jesse Lozano, 41, was missing at 2:30 p.m.
They searched the dormitory area, surrounding buildings and the perimeter, but their search came up with nothing.
All law enforcement agencies nearby were notified of Lozano's disappearance and are helping with the hunt. The camp is located at 15108 Sunrise Highway in Julian.
Lozano was last seen wearing an orange CDCR inmate suit. He is a Hispanic man, standing 6-foot-1-inch and weighing 275 pounds. He has black curly hair, brown eyes and possibly a mustache and a goatee.
Lozano was sentenced for possession for sale of a controlled substance and will be there for eight years. La Cima Conservation Camp houses state and county fire crews, run by the CDCR and CAL Fire, to fight wildland fires throughout the state with the help of minimum security inmates.
If you know where Lozano is, call the camp commander at 760-765-3085 or the Sierra Conservation Center Watch Commander at 209-984-5291, ext. 5439.
