Le Progrès, March 21, 2023

This Tuesday, in the beginning of evening, three unmarked vehicles of the prison administration of Roanne were degraded. They were parked at the bottom of the parking lot of the detention center of Roanne reserved for the personnel, accessible by an automatic metal gate and surrounded by a fence.

Prison staff chased off two individuals dressed in black, one of whom tried to set fire to a vehicle. The latter fled in the direction of the canal before the arrival of police officers. This Tuesday, at 8:30 pm, police officers were present at the scene to make observations.

Additional information (and photo) from a press release from the guard union UFAP-UNSA Justice (27/3): “On Tuesday 21 March, the Roanne prison was the scene of a full-scale attack: individuals broke into the parking lot reserved for staff, smashed the windows of the administrative vehicles and set them on fire. The reactivity of a prison staff made it possible to contain the fire, to limit the damage and to chase away the vandals.”
