LANCASTER – A search was underway Monday for an inmate who walked away from a minimum security prison facility in Lancaster.
Jason Kohr, 36, was discovered missing at 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28, during a head count, said Krissi Khokhobashvili of the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
“He was last seen during (the) 4 p.m. count and during the evening meal,” Khokhobashvili said. “On-duty staff immediately began searching the surrounding areas.”
Kohr was scheduled to be released in July 2018.
He began serving time in Lancaster in May 2016 after being convicted in Ventura County to six years behind bars for vehicle theft, attempting to evade a peace officer while driving recklessly, and second-degree burglary.
Kohr is white, 5 feet 10, 187 pounds, with hazel eyes and a shaved head.
The state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation asks anyone who sees Kohr to immediately call a law enforcement office, 911, or the watch commander at the Mininum-Support Facility at California State Prison-Los Angeles County at 661-792-2000, extension 5551 or 6912.
Khokhobashvili noted that since 1977, 99 percent of offenders who have left an adult institution, camp or community-based program without permission have been apprehended.

Update: Jason Kohr arrested in Mountain View, Ca. in a stolen vehicle. He went back do doing what he does best. I hope somehow his mind will be changed while incarcerated, so he can be a productive member of society when he is released.

Still no developments? I’m not happy that this guy is out here someplace.
Tim Scott says
The guy is a low level car thief. I’m not “happy he’s out there,” but I think one low level car thief more or less is a pretty minor element in a world where Wrecks Parris is a mayor and D’ump is president of the most powerful nation on Earth. He’ll turn up eventually.
Rich says
Still Searching???
Tim Scott says
As of this morning, yes, according to a couple news sources that mentioned it in passing in stories about some other escapee that got caught. Being realistic, the cops are NEVER going to put out a press release that says “we haven’t caught this guy yet,” but you can assume that as soon as they do they will be blowing horns from the rooftops about their heroics. In this case no news is just no news.
your neighbor says
did the catch this guy??? the public would like to know.

Ground control to LEAPS…You missed one.
Tim Scott says
ANOTHER one.
Fern Street Mafia says
Maybe our $10 million dollar LEAPS plane will track him down and bring him to justice.
Har har hardy har har.
Tim Scott says
Well played.
Alexis says
He was do to be released within several months. Now this dummy has made it much worse for himself.
aManOfTruth says
He would have been released on parole which means: No getting drunk with the homies, No getting high with the girlfriend and goodby to anything remotely fun. But NOW he can do all those things… temporarily….
Alby says
So little time before his release date. Maybe he got fed up with other kinds of Robert Tomayos running the joint. And I’m pretty sure there are a lot of these “badge lickers” out there that hide behind baptists or such.
Maker says
Ally…Maybe you should apply to be a Correctional Officer? They are hiring. If you’re such an upstanding human being, take the test, go through the background investigation, pass the psychological evaluation, and the voice stress analyzer (lie detector).
Bet you can’t pass.
Alby says
That’s why we got fat ogres like you with a domineering complex to do the job. Ain’t much phycology to analyze. I’ll bet you love your job. By the way, do you have a mug shot of Robert Tomato so the public can see?
Maker says
What was that? Took the test and couldn’t pass? Failed the background? Flunked the psych you say? It’s ok…so do 97% of other applicants. But the 3% who pass and get hired are the bad guys…right? Great logic. Your parents must be proud. Now get back to YouTube and finish giving the Antifa posters a thumbs up. Turd.
Alby says
Sounds like you’re good with phycology. You like putting words in other people’s mouths just like you put thoughts in your head…. lol what was that? You like antifa? You like turds?

Relevant Mark Twain quote:
If you want to see the dregs of society just go down to the local prison…at the changing of the guard.
Fern Street Mafia says
Or stop by Fern Street every other Tuesday.
William says
Even prisoners don’t wanna live in Lancaster. Maybe he was upside-down in his house, er, cell.
So, he just walked away.
Tim Scott says
LOL…nice shot William.
Maker says
Oh yea. Great source. Mark Twain was bi-polar. He flipped his views on most major issues over time. Great pillar of wisdom indeed….Lol!!
Tim Scott says
LOL…I’ve seen any number of idiots try to provide me with unsolicited mental health diagnoses without bothering to actually meet me, but Doctor you have taken the remote examination to an entirely new level by diagnosing someone who you not only haven’t ever met, but who is also quite dead.
Laughing says
Most people do change their views as they age. It is called experience and wisdom.
