Assaults, arrests, cell fire, a nightmarish day for the prison guards
The staff of the Avignon-le-Pontet prison had a complicated day this Saturday, December 18, 2021.
It all begins in the morning, during a movement towards the Sanitary Unit in Prison Environment (USMP), an inmate a fork and an attempt to strike a blow to the floor supervisor. The latter succeeded in disarming his attacker and with the help of reinforcements, in controlling the individual. He was placed in the disciplinary quarter (QD).
At the end of the morning, a second assault will occur. When an inmate is reinstated, the floor supervisor tells him that he is undergoing a change of cell. This one, dissatisfied, will deliver a violent punch to the thorax of the supervisor. The aggressor will be mastered by several officials before being placed in the QD.
In the afternoon, three individuals will enter the prison area, access the glacis and carry out 48 projections. In conjunction with the watchman at the watchtower, the police will quickly arrest and take into custody the three protagonists.
To end this eventful day, the supervisors will face a cell fire. Two teams will be formed to intervene and control the fire. As explained by unions of the establishment, the two detainees at the origin of the attacks were taken into custody on Monday after an intervention by the local management with the prosecution.
