There have been multiple lesions in the security set-up at the California Institution for Men in Chino which would allow and, on occasion, has allowed inmates to take unauthorized leave from the facility, the San Bernardino County Sentinel is informed.
Renewed attention to the protocols and physical barriers relating to preventing escape from the prison has intensified in the aftermath of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s known transfer of 39 Death Row inmates to the 83-year-old institution which was originally designed as a low-security holding yard for the state least serious and nonviolent criminal offenders, which was followed by an August 11, 2024 incident in which double murderer Kevin G. Roby used a makeshift knife he had obtained in an unsuccessful effort to kill a guard.
In the aftermath of the transfer of what was quantified as 39 Death Row inmates to Chino by April and an announcement that another round of condemned inmates were to follow them to the California Institution for Men, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation senior staff and Governor Gavin Newsom’s office offered Chino and San Bernardino governmental officials and residents of Chino Valley assurances that sufficient precautions had been and were being taken and a redundancy of security measures were in place to prevent any escapes.
Prison escape is a particularly sensitive topic in Chino Valley as a consequence of the now escape, more than 41years ago, of Kevin Cooper, who was incarcerated at the California Institution of Men under the falsely assumed identity of David Trautman as the result of felony burglary convictions in Los Angeles County. In June 1983, Cooper walked off of the prison yard in Chino, leaving by means of a hole in the fence. He headed roughly 4.5 miles due west, where he holed up in what he thought was an unoccupied residence immediately proximate – some 450 feet away from – the home of Doug and Peggy Ryen. On the night of June 4/early morning of June 5, 1983, he attacked the Ryens, using a hatchet and knife to kill them, their 10-year-old daughter, Jessica, and Christopher Hughes, 11, a family friend who was spending the night. He slashed the throat of the Ryens’ son, Joshua, 8, who survived the ordeal. Cooper then drove the Ryen family’s station wagon to Long Beach, where he abandoned it after nearly running it out of gas. From Long Beach he headed south to Baja California, where he befriended an American couple on a sailboat. He accompanied them north, where at the end of July 1983, he was arrested upon attempting to flee after boarding another watercraft, a 26-foot sailboat moored off Santa Cruz Island, a few miles off the coast of Santa Barbara, and raping a woman. Ultimately, he was convicted of the murders of the three members of the Ryen Family and Hughes.
Issues with the security of the California Institution for Men have persisted ever since.
A 2,500-acre complex consisting of four facilities under a single warden addressed at 14901 Central Avenue and existing on a campus that extends from Central Avenue on the west, El Prado Road on the southwest, lying generally south of Eucalyptus Avenue, bordered on the east by the westernmost extension of the now shuttered Heman J. Stark Youth Correctional Facility which fronts to the east on Euclid Avenue and set generally north of Kimball Avenue, Chino Institution for Men was constructed in 1941 to less than exacting standards than many other California prisons because it initially was not intended to house the most violent of the state’s inmates. It was augmented with a high fence topped with razor wire, but prisoners seeking to escape in the 1960s were able to, and occasionally did, defeat that obstacle by throwing the thick woolen blankets used on the prison’s beds over the razor wire and climbing atop it to reach the outer side.
After the Cooper escape, state prison officials made what they said were multiple and redundant security improvements that they confidently maintained made escape from the facility unlikely. Specifically, the addition of electrification to one of the perimeter fences, more razor wire atop the other fence, multiple but relatively primitive guard towers, motion detectors, intensive nighttime illumination that creates a 175-yard gauntlet through which a would-be escapee must pass underneath the eyes of constantly vigilant nocturnal personnel before reaching the electrified perimeter, constant motorized patrols near the perimeter and siren signals effectively deter breakout attempts, the prison’s operators insisted.
Nevertheless, there have been constant and recurring breakdowns in the electrical circuitry for the sirens, motion detectors and fence which officials have been loath to admit. Over the years, holes in the perimeter fence which have not been addressed in a timely manner have been observed. In 2018, Michael Garrett escaped from the prison, after which it was revealed that the motion detector on the fence had been inoperable for five years.
Even when the motion detectors were fully functional, their utility in preventing escapes was marginal. Moving objects as insubstantial as insects, birds, rodents and even rain, wind, shadows and reflected light can trigger them. The constant repetition of such false readings can lead to desensitization and decreased vigilance in the guards who are charged with multiple tasks which include watching the prison perimeter and monitoring electronic sensors and adapt a reflexive disregard for what they consider to be false alarms or misreadings. Moreover, the sheer size of the prison campus results in multiple spots which fall outside the reach of the motion detectors.
In addition, the Sentinel is told, the lethal electrified fence that rings the highest level security unit contained within the prison’s 2,500-acre campus provides a false sense of security in many respects. Installed 19 years ago at a cost exceeding $1.5 million between two parallel, chain-link perimeter security fences which surround what is referred to as the prison’s “C” yard consisting of dormitories, a dining hall and facilities reserved for the most dangerous portion of the population incarcerated at CIM, the electrified fence consists of 16 stainless-steel stranded wires, horizontally oriented and installed on insulators attached to metal fence posts. The top wire is a foot higher than the two perimeter security fences. A concrete-grade beam elevates the bottom wire to approximately 13 inches above the finish grade and prohibits anyone from crawling under the fence. Circular, stainless-steel detection rings, attached to the lower electrified fence wires, trigger an alarm if the wires are spread vertically and come in contact with an adjacent ring/wire. The electrified wires are charged with more than 5,000 volts and very low amperage many times the intensity needed to electrocute a human being. Alarms are transmitted by radio to a dedicated 24-hour roving patrol vehicle should the electrical fence be touched.
The fence has resulted in the occasional electrocution of rodents such as squirrels and gophers as well as birds, rabbits and lizards. On multiple occasions the fence has gone inoperable, the most recent example of which was a five-day interlude nearly six weeks ago.
While under normal conditions the electrified fence presents a daunting barrier to anyone who would leave the C Yard without authorization, there have been circumstances in which members of the serious offender population that is, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, to be constantly and without exception confined to C Yard have roamed outside of C Yard, either as part of a rehabilitative assignment or, far less frequently, out of some other necessity or by mistake. Outside the confines of C Yard, there are other sections of the prison that have varying levels of security, ranging from yet-substantial restriction measures all the way to the largest set of dormitories reserved for the prison’s Level I inmate population, composed of non-violent offenders who were convicted of what are generally considered to be offenses at the lower level of seriousness on the criminal spectrum. These Level I inmates are housed in open dormitories within a less than fully secure perimeter from which escape would be difficult but nonetheless possible.
An issue creating the possibility for the serious offender population, including those who were formerly on Death Row to migrate into the general population and from there, conceivably, into the Level I population is the raison d’être for having transferred the Death Row Inmates to facilities such as the California Institution for Men in the first place: fulfilling the requirements of Proposition 66, passed by California’s voters in 2016. Proposition 66 stipulated a requirement that condemned prisoners work at in-prison employment settings, receiving what was originally 8 cents per hour to 37 cents an hour and is now 16 cents an hour to 74 cents an hour, depending on the skill level, to earn money used to pay restitution to their victims. Proposition 66 required that the prisoners be housed in a facility that had the workshops or foundries where such work could be carried out.
Beginning in 2020, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation undertook the Condemned Inmate Transfer Pilot Program in which what was limited to 100 Death Row Inmates were transferred to seven institutions that had the workshops and space therein to put them to work. Those seven did not include the California Institution for Men but rather the California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi, the California Medical Facility – Stockton, California State Prison–Corcoran, Centinela State Prison, Kern Valley State Prison, the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility and Salinas Valley State Prison.
After that pilot program was deemed a success, the plan was hatched to eliminate Death Row at San Quentin Prison altogether a transfer all of the states condemned prisoners to 19 difference institutions, one of them being the California Institution for Men. As it turns out, CIM-Chino now houses the fourth highest number of condemned prisoners outside of San Quentin, 46, behind California Health Care Facility, Stockton, California State Prison, Sacramento and Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.
According to California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Jeff Macomber, his department has made efforts to ensure the former Death Row prisoners are institutionalized in settings where the requisite degree of security is available to thwart any attempts at escape those inmates might make.
“Participants are placed in high-security institutions while still integrating with the general population,” Macomber stated.
It is that integration and what it might lead to – namely that these condemned killers will blend in with their less mayhem-prone prison colleagues and escape – critics maintain, that is keeping many people in Chino Valley awake at night.
PFAS Persist In Lake Arrowhead Wells & Other Water Sources
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl contamination in Lake Arrowhead and its community water supply has persisted in the year since the public disclosure of the issue, according to well sampling data recently released by the Lake Arrowhead Community Services District.
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances – commonly referred to as PFAS, turned up in the Lake Arrowhead water supply at least as early as 2020, according former Lake Arrowhead Community Services District Board Member Ted Heyck. Also known as perfluorochemicals or PCFs, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are compounds with water-repellent and oil-repellent properties. They are used in the production of both industrial and everyday household products such as stain-resistant carpets and furniture, waterproof clothing, shoes and outdoor gear, cosmetics and personal care products, food packaging, firefighting foam, cleaning products, industrial surfactants and non-stick cookware. They are commonly used in the aerospace, construction and electronics and in military and firefighting contexts.
Referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS chemicals don’t break down easily over time and are water soluble. Scientists, environmentalists and health professionals have concerns these chemicals could build to levels that could result in environmental and human health harm.
If absorbed by humans or animals in substantial or threshold quantities, they can alter the metabolisms of humans and animals, impact fertility, reduce fetal growth, decrease birth weight, cause changes in liver enzymes and increase the risk of obesity, increase the risk of certain cancers, impact immune response, increase cholesterol levels, decrease vaccine response in children and increase the risk of high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia in pregnant women.
Public disclosure of Lake Arrowhead’s perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances problem came with a press release from the Lake Arrowhead Community Services District dated November 17, 2023, which stated, “recent sample results have detected trace amounts of a class of chemicals referred to as PFAS. The amount of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances detected in the Lake Arrowhead Community Services District’s drinking water is very small but safe levels of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances have not yet been established.”
Within the last month, public statements by Lake Arrowhead Community Services District Board President John Wurm and Lake Arrowhead Community Services District Operations Manager have dwelt on the persistence of the problem and efforts to redress it, both by reducing the basic level of contamination and by the importation of water uncontaminated with perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances from outside the immediate environs of Lake Arrowhead to dilute the perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances level to below the threshold deemed by the State of California and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be safe for human consumption.
While previously both the state and federal government had not established a safety level for PFAS in drinking water, in April the United States Environmental Protection Agency set the national limits for six types of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water. At that time the maximum tolerance for perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and PFOS cannot exceed 4 parts per trillion in public drinking water. The US EPA further restricted three additional PFAS chemicals – perfluorononanoic acid or PFNA and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid or PFHxS and Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS) and two newer generation chemicals created as a replacement for PFOA – hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) dimer acid and its ammonium salt at 10 perts per trillion.
According to Wurm, the Lake Arrowhead Community Services District had already set a precedent by importing water from the Crestline Lake Arrowhead Water Agency (CLAWA) to raise the level of Lake Arrowhead when it had been impacted by the drought. Brooks said the Lake Arrowhead Community Services District is now purchasing water from CLAWA not just to offset the drop in the lake level but also to add or blend that water with the locally sourced water to bring the PFAS level to within EPA standards.
Brooks said that water tested from the district’s various wells showed mixed results in terms of PFAS levels in those well vis-à-vis previous testing. In some cases the PFA levels are up and in other cases they are down.
At least 57 Lake Arrowhead Community Services District customers, according to Brooks, had been provided with rebates or partial rebates to cover their costs for purchasing in-home filtration systems.

Joshua Tree
Axel Cramer and Dane Hollar, the 31-year-old and 28-year-old principals in Green Collar Builders, have intentions of building 10,000 buildings throughout the world annually over the next 21 years. They have selected Joshua Tree as one of the communities to begin their initial round of construction. They plan to erect 64 homes in a subdivision they have dubbed LoveMore Ranch, adjacent to Alta Loma Road in Joshua Tree.
While Axel Cramer and Dane Hollar maintain they love Joshua Tree more than most, there are scores of Joshua Tree residents who claim they love concept a lot less than Cramer and Hollar do.
Those Joshua Tree residents would prefer that the duo undertake their mission to reinvigorate the planet elsewhere.
According to Cramer, those denizens of the desert community positioned off Highway 62 between Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms who are taking a stand against the project are doing so out of ignorance. In the first place, traditional development, including the type that has occurred in the desert, has proven to be unsustainable, he said. But Green Collar Builders represents a new approach that undertakes sustainable growth, he insisted. More than that, Cramer gushed, the project will be “regenerative.”
To get a glimpse of what the regenerative concept entails, one need go no further than the Green Collar Builders’ website. There the company’s mission statement credits Cramer and Hollar with intending to “Catalyze greater use of and capacity to construct state-of-the-art sustainable and regenerative building systems internationally, constructing 10000+ commercial & residential structures in the Western USA annually and generating top-quartile returns compared with competition in 2045+ based on value cornerstones of quality, communication and environmental regeneration.”
Put into laymen’s terms, that goulagash means, Cramer said, that he and Hollar aren’t raping the land by engaging in ecological havoc and harming the environment but making improvements, doing so at an intensity that is less than full-throttle.
First off, according to Cramer, LoveMore Ranch will have a net-negative carbon impact, meaning, apparently, that after the 64 homes are built and occupied with something like 256 residents, there will be less use of fossil fuel on the 18.5 acres where the homes are to be built than is in use their now.
Cramer was unable to explain, precisely, how that would be, particularly since there is virtually no human activity on the property at present.
Indeed, many within the Joshua Tree community perceive Cramer to be something of a charlatan.
On August 29, Cramer hosted what he said was to be a “community conversation” with regard to Green Collar Builders’ plan. Better than four score residents turned out for the event. While a few said they were satisfied with the modicum of details Cramer and the six others with him including architects and engineers, who were either Green Collar Builders corporate staff or consultants, others complained that when those with the information were questioned they proved hard to pin down as to facts and specifics.
Based on what information Cramer was willing to disgorge, the homes to be built will make minimal disturbance of the natural landscape and will be set down amid the existing desert chaparral, all electrical power supplied to the homes will come from solar panels on the houses themselves or a communal solar power plant to be built as part of the project, a small “pocket” wastewater treatment plant which will process all of the effluent generated among the 64 homes so that it can be used to irrigate a communal garden/vegetable and fruit farm. Hands down, Cramer said, the project will preserve at least 20 percent more of the desert habitat than would be the case with a traditional residential subdivision, and most likely, more than that.
When several of the local residents expressed skepticism about what Cramer is proposing, he shifted somewhat, saying that as the property owner with property development rights under the authority of the San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department, he and his company could simply develop the land to the standard provided for in the county’s zoning, which would permit up to 114 units, as per the low-density residential and single-family residential designation on the county zoning map for the area.
Some Joshua Tree residents took what Cramer said as a threat, and they questioned wheter he would stand by his expressed commitment to preserve the natural environment within the project area or limit the project to the 64 homes as he said he would.
Another issue that local residents found Cramer to be insufficiently forthcoming with regard to was to pricing on the homes. At one point he said these sustainable units would also be “affordable.” Yet he was unable to define, in dollar terms or in any other way what that meant. When specific monetary thresholds were mentioned – such as $500,000 – Cramer was unable to say whether the cost of the homes would come in at, below or above that figure.
Some accused Cramer of talking through his hat, and they said his effort to have those present divide into small groups to talk among themselves with one of the Green Collar Builders monitoring them and fielding questions was an effort by Cramer to “divide and conquer” the opposition to the project. When one resident sought to take the microphone to enunciate a series of questions that all present could hear, such that Cramer would have to respond to them on the record in a way that everyone would hear precisely what his and Green Collar Builders’ position was, Cramer resisted that approach, provoking even greater skepticism.
One Joshua Tree resident, Nelson Day, confronted Cramer, saying he was involved in perpetrating a “disgusting money grab” to develop property and reap a profit.
Joshua Tree resident Laird Davis noted that this was not the first time that real estate speculators had set their sights on Joshua Tree and that in the past the residents had risen up to resist the designs of the profiteers intent on exploiting the community. He said that the Joshua Tree residents would do so again.
At one point, after the Joshua Tree residents had enough of being herded into isolated groups in which they were assailed with Green Collar Builders corporate propaganda, several collectively buttonholed Cramer, demanding that he give clear and straightforward answers about what he and Hollar are up to.
He wasn’t up to anything untoward, Cramer said, honest injun. He was simply looking to create a living environment for residents to have a “deep engagement with the national park,” be able to grown their own food, live sustainably and give him and Hollar an opportunity to “push the frontier of generative development in the High Desert.”
He lived in San Diego Cramer said, but he had established a second home in Joshua Tree, located on the 18.5-acre property where the project is to take place, at 61650 Alta Loma Drive, between Hillview and Sunset roads almost four years ago. He loves that place more than anything, Cramer insisted.
Cut the nonsense, several of the Joshua Tree residents on hand told Cramer, not in so many words, pointing out that there is not sufficient water availability for Cramer and Hollar to create the residential subdivision they are touting. They called LoveMore Ranch a “boondoggle” and “poorly conceived” and “misplaced.”
Skepticism extended to who, exactly, is behind Cramer and Hollar, and whether what they are engaged in was simply a ploy to get the camel’s nose under the tent, such that after an entitlement to construct 64 homes or 72 home or 80 homes or 88 homes or 96 homes or 104 homes or 114 homes is obtained, further plans by whoever the deep-pocketed true sponsor of this effort to sink a deep well and proceed with a massive subdivision involving hundreds of acres and neighborhoods with four and six units to the acre, eight units to the acre, ten units to the acre or 12 units to the acre will materialize.
“Where’s your money coming from?” Davis asked.
Cramer refused to say.
Cramer is full of himself, Joshua tree residents say. He has been trying to cook up a plan to develop the property and obtain 27-to-one return on his investment since 2020, they said.
