Escape and Fire Breakout: Chaos at Nîmes Detention Center

Six people escaped after fires in
a detention center in Nîmes
West France / Liberation, August 20, 2023

Around 10:15 p.m., detainees then take the opportunity to snatch surveillance cameras, break doors and set fire to 14 rooms, in three areas of the establishment. Quickly, six fire stations intervened to stop the fire and reinforcements arrived from the Nîmes police station to monitor the 90 detainees placed in the courtyard while waiting.

But faced with the number of detainees and the situation, the 11 guards of the CRA and the police reinforcements were not enough: six people managed to escape from the building.. This Sunday, August 20, 2023, many transfers of detainees will take place to Toulouse and Marseille. An investigation is underway to estimate the cost of repairs and determine the identity of the culprits, while “two living areas” of the detention center “are completely out of order”.
