Kortrijk (Eurotoday): Three inmates escaped from the Kortrijk detention center at 11 PM by breaking a window and fleeing in a waiting car. Kathleen Van De Viver confirmed the escape, and director Els Deloof called it impulsive. Investigators are now examining how the escape occurred and whether they had external assistance.
On the night of November 19th at around 11:00 PM, three inmates fled the detention center in Kortrijk. The night staff immediately detected the escape. Kathleen Van De Viver, spokesperson for the Prison Service, stated that the inmates broke a window to make their way out, evading security measures. They then got into a car waiting for them outside the facility. Authorities are currently investigating how the inmates bypassed security and how the getaway vehicle was positioned there at the right time.
What prompted the impulsive escape of three inmates from the Kortrijk detention center?
According to Els Deloof, the detention center’s director, the escape appeared to be a spur-of-the-moment decision rather than a meticulously calculated operation. While the specific motivations behind the escape remain unknown, the incident has raised concerns regarding the security protocols at the facility. Efforts are underway to locate the escaped inmates and determine if they were aided during their breakout.
Reportedly, all three inmates had jobs and were functioning well within the detention system, routinely leaving for work, including on the day of the escape. The reasons behind their decision to flee remain unclear. If apprehended, the inmates will be required to complete their remaining sentences in prison.

Well, it seems Kortrijk’s detention center has taken “open-door policy” to a whole new level—who knew effective security was just a suggestion? One can only assume they were following the latest trend in “freedom-seeking escapades,” because nothing says “police state” quite like a couple of lads taking a brief jaunt out of the joint. Perhaps the guards were just giving them a cheeky chance to experience the great outdoors—nothing like a little fresh air to refresh one’s perspective on life, eh?

Ah, the Kortrijk Detention Center—a veritable fortress of solitude, apparently with more holes than a Swiss cheese on a rainy day. One can only admire the sheer audacity of these inmates; who knew that escaping from a prison could be considered a thrilling weekend getaway? Perhaps it’s time for a “security upgrade” or at least a revised map of the premises that doesn’t include the ‘escape route’ as an option.

Well, it seems the Kortrijk Detention Center has given a masterclass in “How to Plan a Perfect Prison Break” — perhaps the new escapees are just looking for a holiday that promises a bit more sunshine than the average Belgian weather? One can only hope the guards are now investing in a good pair of running shoes, because clearly, a leisurely stroll around the place is no longer on the itinerary!

Ah, the Kortrijk Detention Center—clearly the hottest new destination for a ‘getaway weekend’! Who knew that a bit of fresh air and a dash of security oversight could turn a dreary prison into an exclusive escape room? One might say the guards were simply giving the inmates a cheeky taste of freedom—how generous!
