The police in Hesse have arrested a jailbreaker again. Civil servants of the Frankfurt Kriminalpolizei could have found the man on Tuesday in the Frankfurt district Sossenheim, so the police. There he was traveling with a bicycle. Although he had initially tried to escape, first with bicycle, then on foot: "In the end, however, clicked the handcuffs."
The man had been able to break out on August 1 at a court walk accompanied by civil servants at the prison in Frankfurt-Preungesheim. He had overcome a more than five feet high fence, the top was secured with two rolls of NATO wire. During the escape, he apparently took a head injury.
How the man managed his escape exactly is not publicly known. According to the Hessian Ministry of Justice, the prison has the lower security level two. Staff shortage in the judiciary but had played no role, it is hot. The 39-year-old had climbed over the barrier "with great skill and high speed".
Outbreak itself is not punishable - yet hardly escapees remain impunity
The 39-year-old has now been brought back to the JVA Preungesheim police. There he is not because of a violent crime, but because of a drug offense. The outbreak itself is not a separate offense. "This results from the idea that the legislature recognizes that every person has an urge for freedom," said Matthias Jahn, a professor at the Institute of Criminal Science and Philosophy of Law at the Goethe University Frankfurt and a judge at the Higher Regional Court.
However, in practice, the few escapees remain impunity. For example, they may be prosecuted for harming their property or for overpowering or holding hostage officers.
