Alarm in Krems-Stein – prisoner raged in cell: two officers injured!

The “rock” is currently like a volcano: the high-security prison in Krems-Stein was rocked by a serious incident. A prisoner with a delicate past barricaded himself in the cell with his weapon and injured two officers when the task force attacked the heavily armed special unit of the prison. Despite using a taser, only a prison doctor was able to sedate the enraged man. In fact, according to information from the “Krone”, two sedative injections were needed.

In any case, the Ministry of Justice only briefly comments on the explosive situation on request: “The incident has been reported to the responsible public prosecutor in Krems. We therefore ask for your understanding that we are unable to provide further information about the case at this time,” said spokeswoman Christina Ratz. Questions about stricter measures in the detention center or possible consequences for the other detainees were simply ignored.

Cuddle course for criminals?
The reason for this would be the “nice track” towards the criminals. In any case, the staff has sharply criticized the prison management and the Ministry of Justice: “Colleagues are spat on and insulted, but there are simply no consequences. The social services even give the angry prisoners tobacco as a reward,” said a prison guard in Stein who has been there for years. Civil servants feel the consequences every day. There have probably been a lot of injuries in the last three months alone.

However, there is still not enough time for training and training in service weapons and protective equipment.” “We are fair game for the prisoners. It is no longer possible to comply with the legal provisions without having one foot in the criminal record yourself. Until someone actually dies,” is the frightening conclusion.
