The dark series of accidents in the prison system continues: now the fourth prisoner – mentally abnormal and extremely dangerous – has escaped. Once again visiting a doctor from a hospital building, this time the General Hospital of Vienna…
The November scandal chronology began with a prisoner in the Schwarzau women’s prison. After a shock diagnosis of illness including a short-circuit reaction during a stay at the Wiener Neustadt State Hospital, the woman went into hiding.
The 16-year-old Afghan mocked the rule of law
Shortly afterwards, a 16-year-old Afghan ran away from the same clinic. And he also mocked the rule of law with posted photos of his escape, including while on drugs. The teenager is now the only one back behind bars.
Escape number 3 happened again from a hospital location. A high-security prisoner at Krem-Stein prison was able to run away from his guards during an MRI appointment at the nearby university hospital despite alleged knee problems and being handcuffed. The Chechen and former MMA fighter, who served a several-year prison sentence for aggravated robbery, is also said to have radical Islamist tendencies.
Dangerous prisoner injured correctional officer
Now, just over a week later, the black series of accidents in the prison system continues: Thursday morning, a mentally abnormal prisoner was held in pre-trial detention (he was in prison for resisting state authority and was about to be transferred to a closed department) was able to escape. Again despite handcuffs, but precisely because of the lack of ankle cuffs. The fugitive also injured a law enforcement officer.
Around noon, dozens of prison guards stormed from the Gray House in Vienna, which also houses the Josefstadt prison, into Alser Strasse towards the Altes AKH. A court editor from “Krone” was on the scene when cars of the judicial guard and police blocked the entrances to the area. After about an hour, officers returned to the Vienna Regional Court – without the 28-year-old who had escaped.
In Austrian criminal law the following basically applies: A prisoner remains unpunished if he escapes – as long as he does not become a criminal. . .
