Jefferson had been sentenced to serve 15 years for second-degree robbery, a second-strike offense, and had arrived at the Los Angeles area reentry facility on April 1. He was scheduled to be released from custody in May of 2022.
Anyone who sees Jefferson or has any knowledge of his whereabouts should immediately contact law enforcement or call 911.
The MCRP allows eligible offenders committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the re-entry center and provides them the programs and tools necessary to transition from custody to the community.
