Immediate police investigation
The exact circumstances of the escape are still unclear. It is not known whether the inmate escaped during an exit or directly from the facility.
The Vienna-Mittersteig Prison is a special facility in the Austrian penal system used primarily to house healthy, mentally abnormal criminals.
Prisoners are considered dangerous
The perpetrators are also considered dangerous and there is a risk that they will commit serious crimes again. A distinction is made between perpetrators who were mentally disabled due to this disorder at the time of the crime and perpetrators who were not.
