Opinion by: STEVENS, J.
This is a consolidated appeal from the order entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Berks County granting Appellees’ respective petitions for Writ of Habeas Corpus and dismissing the charge of Escape, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 5121(a) that had been filed against each parolee for leaving a detainment facility without permission. The Commonwealth argues the trial court erred in concluding section 5121 necessarily excludes from its reach parole violators who have been arrested and placed in a facility pending their parole violation hearing. As we agree with the Commonwealth, we vacate and remand.

Appeal from the Order entered October 31, 2007In the Court of Common Pleas of Centre CountyCriminal, No. CP-14-CR-0001508-2007
Before: GANTMAN, SHOGAN, AND KELLY, JJ.
Opinion by: GANTMAN, J.
Appellant, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, asks us to determine whether the Centre County Court of Common Pleas erred when it granted habeas corpus relief and dismissed the charge, filed against Appellee, Lili Mararita Winger, of endangering the welfare of children. We hold the trial court erred when it dismissed the charge, because the Commonwealth produced probable cause to establish a prima facie case for that offense. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
