Only this week did the detention center in Vordernberg make headlines again: As the “Steirerkrone” revealed, five detainees who were transferred to a former hospital in Eisenerz because of the corona disease managed to escape. An up-to-the-minute cost report provides extra explosiveness.
The detention house in Vordernberg in Upper Styria is the focus of a red-hot Interior Ministry report, which is available to the “Steirerkrone”. Minister Gerhard Karner discusses the costs, personnel and acts of violence.
costs increased significantly
What is explosive is that the costs for the provision have risen sharply compared to the latest survey: from 13.11 million euros in 2020 to no less than 13.62 million euros in 2021. Half a million euros more in one year, and that with relatively low utilization: A A total of 1,173 people were accommodated last year, which corresponds to an occupancy rate of 58.7 percent.
Multiple Escape Attempts
The majority of all male prisoners come from Afghanistan (260). The deployment of personnel, on the other hand, is intensive, with more than 60 law enforcement officers and 50 employees of a security company. Yet there were five escape attempts, and only this week five men escaped with Corona. It is also worrying that crimes continue to take place in the detention center with 62 crimes reported and five law enforcement officers injured in the assault.
The liberals look critically at the numbers. National Councilor Hannes Amesbauer pinpoints a “catastrophic balance”.
