Innsbruck Correctional Facility: Civil Servant Discovered as Courier

A recent incident at the Innsbruck Correctional Facility has raised significant concerns regarding security protocols. A civil servant, tasked with providing assistance within the facility, has been found to have acted as a courier for inmates, allegedly smuggling prohibited items, including a mobile phone, into the premises.

This revelation came to light following a violent altercation among inmates who were working in the staff kitchen, which took place several weeks ago. During this incident, rumors circulated about the existence of an unauthorized smartphone within the kitchen area. Subsequent inspections confirmed the presence of the device.

Reports indicate that the inmate identified as the instigator of the brawl was promptly reassigned to a different role within the facility. It was during this transition that he reportedly confessed to having received a mobile phone from the civil servant, who had been assisting in the staff kitchen for several months.

In addition to the phone, the civil servant is alleged to have smuggled other electronic devices into the facility, such as chargers, USB sticks containing music files, and wireless earbuds. These activities were confirmed by the Ministry of Justice, which stated that the incident has been officially reported to the relevant authorities overseeing civil service operations.

As a result of these actions, the civil servant has lost their position within the correctional facility and is no longer employed there. This incident highlights potential vulnerabilities in the security measures at correctional institutions and raises questions about the oversight of personnel who interact with inmates.

Authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that such breaches do not occur in the future. The Ministry of Justice has reiterated its commitment to maintaining the integrity and security of correctional facilities across the country.
