Prisoner attempts escape from Chester County Prison

POCOPSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WHTM) — Wednesday afternoon, someone tried to break out of a county prison previously in the spotlight for a high-profile escape.

The Chester County District Attorney’s Office said an inmate attempted to escape from the Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township.

“He was quickly apprehended due to a combination of security features and prison staff,” the district attorney’s office said. “All inmates are accounted for and there is no threat to the community.”
