Guards in Charge Instead of Superiors During Prison Escape
On Saturday, September 7, the day when five inmates escaped from the Vale de Judeus prison in Alcoentre, it was revealed that the on-duty guards were led by another guard due to the absence of superiors. This information was confirmed to Correio da Manhã by two unions from the sector.
Hermínio Barradas, the president of the union of chiefs, explained that the staffing situation is concerning: "The chief positions are supposed to be 526, but only 260 are currently active. The average age of the staff is 57 years." This alarming situation raises questions about the management and safety protocols in place within the prison system.
