Sunday, late afternoon, an inmate escaped from prison Fresnes, in the Val-de-Marne, despite the shooting of a supervisor. FO Secretary General Penitentiary Emmanuel Bodin returned to the chronology of events.
"The detainee was out walking, he took sheets with him so that he could climb the fence, the walls and pass the concertina (barbed wire with small blades, ed) to avoid cutting himself," he recalls. "The watchtower spotted the inmate escalating, fired warning shots and used his gun three times to try to prevent him from escaping but unfortunately it was not enough."
A man released in 2026. Wounded in his hands by crossing the fence, the man was in prison for burglary, said the union SNP-FO. The 29-year-old man was classified as DPS for the most-watched detainee. "It's a prisoner who had already escaped from a court," says Emmanuel Bodin. "He had a release date in 2026" for organized gang extortion, break and enter and organized gangs. "And he had resumed three years following his escape from the court".
