This is not the first time that incidents of this order have been deplored within the penitentiary establishment.
Videos filmed inside Haeren prison and published on social networks ask questions. We can see detainees in dancing, scenes from daily life, images taken via a drone too.
“We have already alerted the authority about it”, explains Grégory Wallez, secretary general of the CGSP Prison. “The problem is not specific to Haren prison”.
L’Prison administration said it was extremely attentive to the publication of these videos turned probably during the winter. “An internal investigation has been opened to identify the author of the videos, but it is not easy to find him. We have also asked for the deletion of the Tiktok account. We take reinforced measures against the introduction of GSM and the overview of drones within the prison”, advance Valérie Callebaut, spokesperson for the prison administration.
These videos display hundreds of thousands of views on the social network. The International Prisons Observatory would like to point out that they are not representative of the situation. On the contrary, “it is an extremely violent environment, the prisons”, details Lucie de Cock, co -president of the institution.
