Venice Santa Maria Maggiore prison escapes
Overview
A series of security breaches occurred at the Santa Maria Maggiore prison in Venice. On September 17, a 33-year-old Romanian inmate escaped by climbing over the perimeter wall during pest control operations. The prison union SAPPE criticized the incident, citing overcrowding and staffing shortages as vulnerabilities.
On September 30, a second escape attempt took place involving two inmates. One individual was intercepted by prison police while scaling the perimeter wall, while another reached Mestre before being apprehended. SAPPE noted the similarity in methods to the previous escape and described the events as a warning regarding the “critical state of prisons in the Veneto region.” The union has called for an investigation into the facility’s security and operational conditions.
