Yreka, California – A minimum-security inmate from the California Correctional Center walked away from Deadwood Conservation Camp (CC #23) on December 26, 2015.

Inmate Daniel R. Fidler, 42, is a white male, 5’ 8” tall, 174 pounds, with hazel eyes and a bald head. He was committed to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) on July 15, 2015, from Humboldt County for Burglary. He was scheduled to be released from CDCR custody on January 9, 2018.

Inmate Fidler was assigned to an inmate firefighting crew at CC #23 in Yreka. The camp houses approximately 100 minimum-custody inmates.

Inmate Fidler was last seen at CC #23 by camp staff on December 26 during the 7 p.m. count.  He was discovered missing later that day by CC #23 staff during the 8:30 p.m. count.
