There was talk of an “unsuitable attempt to escape” that was “prevented by the committed and rapid intervention of a prison guard.”
The inmate injured himself during the action, the department spokeswoman said. “He is currently receiving medical treatment.” The two escape helpers had been put out to search for people. It was also stated “that we cannot provide any information on the personal circumstances of inmates for data protection reasons”. “No other people were injured or property was damaged” during the attempted escape.

According to “Krone”, a Macedonian imprisoned for attempted murder was to be pulled over the prison wall using a rope. The plan went horribly wrong. “The rope broke,” wrote the newspaper. “The inmate fell to the ground inside the prison.” He was badly injured.
“Each individual escape attempt is analyzed in detail in order to learn from these findings and experiences and to adapt existing security measures accordingly or to retrofit security facilities,” said the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice emphasized in the opinion. If an inmate has already made one or more attempts to escape, increased security measures would apply to this person in the penal system, “which have an impact on the type of accommodation and the number of staff in the event of a performance or demonstration”. In addition, these circumstances would also be taken into account when designing the prison plan (§ 135 StVG) of the respective inmate.
