Incarcerated for terrorism, an inmate of Fresnes prison managed to escape the surveillance of the guards before starting an escape attempt.
In the morning of Sunday, November 14, a scenario worthy of a Hollywood film took place in the prison of Fresnes (Val-de-Marne). An inmate, imprisoned for terrorism in the penal establishment for four years, tried to escape. It is thanks to the motion detector that the guards are warned of the presence of an individual within the confines of the prison. She would have drilled a hole before let slip from the second floor, all the way down, using tied sheets.
“She was able to take advantage of the dilapidated nature of the establishment, of the watchtowers which are no longer occupied by staff. Problem on the dilapidated state of the establishment, problematic on staff … It is the explosive cocktail“, estimates Yoann Karar, deputy secretary general FO justice. This 31-year-old detainee had left for Syria to join her family and is one of several dozen women imprisoned for terrorism in France. A district for evaluating radicalization for women will see the light of day in a few weeks.
