Furlough inmate skips check-in in Hilo

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Shawn Kaawa

Hilo furlough inmate Shawn Kaawa, who was scheduled for a probation hearing today, failed to report to the Hale Nani Reintegration Center for his scheduled check-in Wednesday and is now considered an escapee.

Kaawa, 34, is serving time for prohibited acts related to drug paraphernalia.

Kaawa has a community custody classification, which is the lowest custody level.

He is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees him is urged to call 911.

Inmates in the extended furlough program live and work outside of the facility but must check in at various times throughout the month.
