Fire in Neuruppin JVA: Inmate causes fire with lighter!
There was recently a serious incident at the Neuruppin-Wulkow correctional facility. A 39-year-old inmate set fire to his cell, which led to remarkable efforts by correctional staff. Fortunately, the fire was quickly extinguished, but not without consequences.
According to rbb24, the fire brigade was not necessary; The correctional facility employees had extinguished the sea of flames independently. However, the inmate suffered minor injuries and two of the employees had to be taken to hospital for examination as a precaution. The affected cell and the facade of the building suffered material damage of around 20,000 euros. Fortunately, thanks to the rapid response of the employees, there was no further damage to the facility.
Quick response and investigation
After this incident, the entire floor was immediately evacuated. The police have launched an investigation against the inmate as the offense is being treated as arson; He is said to have started the fire with a lighter. In a prison, an incident like this is of course sensitive and raises questions about security.
The incident shows once again how important quick and effective measures are in such extreme situations. The correctional facility employees showed good skills by being able to extinguish the fire themselves and thus avert major damage. However, the question remains as to how this dangerous situation could have arisen and what consequences the prisoner can now expect.
In these days, when other issues are certainly at play, it is crucial to draw attention to safety in such facilities. Such incidents are troubling not only for inmates but also for staff.
Although the situation has calmed down, it remains to be seen what measures will be taken by the judicial authorities after this incident in order to further increase security in the Wulkow JVA and prevent similar incidents in the future. Trust in the system is just as important as the safety of everyone involved.
