The escape attempt comes four months after two other incarcerated people, Ameen Hurst and Nasir Grant, managed to slip out of the same facility, Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center.

Molinuevo’s attempt, in the presence of several officers who immediately gave chase, appeared less calculated. She had arrived in the jail earlier that same day on charges of robbery, theft, terroristic threats, and possession of an instrument of crime. Her bail was set at 10% of $30,000, meaning a bond of just $3,000 was required. She was being represented by the Defender Association of Philadelphia, which declined to comment.
Philadelphia Department of Prisons spokesperson John Mitchell said that the attempted escapee has been placed in segregated custody, and an investigation is underway. “The assigned receiving room correctional officer has been suspended immediately pending further investigation,” he said in a statement. “The integrity of our facility, as well as the work of other vigilant staff, ensured that this incarcerated person remained in the Department of Prisons’ custody.”
