Because I'll be honest lad, all I hear is a lot of whining. You seriously think I want to see you again after all of this? 'And don't you dad me. Don't you dare call me that ever again. Ever again, do you hear me? I'm not your dad and I never was. 'You think I want to see you? Have you come visit me? Don't make me laugh. You or the girls. Or your mum. Any of you. 'But especially you Brody because the others, at least they're family but you are nothing to me.

Prisoner Serving Multiple Sentences Escapes Jail by Hiding in Fellow Cellmate's Luggage as He's Released
A man escaped from prison as his cellmate was being released by hiding in his bag — and officials are still searching for him According to a French prison administration official, the 20-year-old man serving multiple sentences climbed into his cellmate's laundry bag as he was being released at the end of his sentence Officials believe the man escaped on Friday, July 11, and prison officials only noticed the following morningA man escaped from prison as his cellmate was being released by hiding in his bag — and officials are still searching for him. According to reports from CNN, the BBC and CBS News, Sébastien Cauwel, the director of France's prison administration, told local outlet BFMTV on Sunday, July 13, that the man "took advantage" of his cellmate's release from the Corbas prison, located near the southeastern French city of Lyon. Prison officials believe the man — a 20-year-old who was serving multiple sentences — escaped on Friday, July 11, and they only noticed that he was gone the following morning, Cauwel said. BFMTV reported that the man's cellmate had completed his sentence and was leaving the prison when the escapee got inside his laundry bag. "This is an extremely rare event that we have never seen in this administration and which clearly shows a whole series of serious failures," Cauwel said, calling the incident an "accumulation of errors." Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that the man was also under investigation in a case connected to organized crime, and local investigators were looking into his escape as "part of an organized gang and criminal conspiracy," per the BBC. Last month, the Lyon Bar Association raised concerns about overcrowding at the Lyon-Corbas prison, the BBC reported, and Cauwel said that the prison currently has an occupancy rate of 170%. "That makes the working conditions of our officers more complicated," Cauwel said. Back in May, BFMTV reported that about 1,200 people were detained in the prison, which has a capacity for 678 inmates. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

CNN reported that a similar incident took place last year, when another French prisoner escaped after armed men ambushed a prison convoy transporting him to a jail in Normandy. Reuters reported at the time that the escapee, Mohamed Amra — who has been nicknamed "The Fly" — was arrested again in Romania in February 2025. Read the original article on People

Inmate escapes from French prison by hiding in bag of released cellmate
An inmate has escaped from a French prison by hiding in the bag of his cellmate who was being released, according to reports. The 20-year-old prisoner fled from Lyon-Corbas prison in south-east France on Friday, BFMTV reported. The prison service has reportedly now launched an internal investigation into the incident, with its director, Sébastien Cauwel, admitting to an 'accumulation of errors' that led to the incident. He told the broadcaster: 'This is an extremely rare event that we have never experienced in this administration and which clearly reveals a whole series of serious dysfunctions.' The inmate, who is still on the run, managed to hide in his cellmate's bag when he was released at the end of his sentence on Friday, BFMTV said. However, his escape was reportedly not noticed by staff for another 24 hours. It has been suggested that the delay was due to overcrowding at the prison. 'This facility has an occupancy rate of 170 per cent. This clearly makes working conditions more difficult for our staff,' the prison service head told BFMTV. French media have reported that the escaped prisoner was serving several sentences and was also under investigation in a case connected to organised crime. The BBC added that a judicial investigation probing the possibility that the escape was 'part of an organised gang and criminal conspiracy' has been opened.
