He got stuck about three meters high.

This Sunday, an inmate from the Perpignan penitentiary center (Pyrénées-Orientales) got tangled in barbed wire, tells France 3 Occitanie.

At the end of the morning, the prisoner would have climbed the wall of promenade to recover parcels projected from the outside.

But he got stuck in the barbed wire.

He pulls himself out

The man remained trapped for about half an hour.

He finally managed to get out on his own as firefighters were dispatched to the scene.

The inmate was then taken care of by prison officers.

According to France 3, packages containing blades and hacksaws were recently intercepted in Perpignan prison.

At the beginning of May, two men – one of whom found himself trapped on a roof – were also arrested after throwing packages over the wall of the penitentiary centre.
