A hostage taking was underway on Wednesday morning in the prison Vendin- le-Vieil, near Lens in the Pas-de-Calais.

Under the threat of a homemade weapon. The deputy director of the penal institution is held for 11 hours under the threat of a homemade weapon by an inmate in the segregation unit of the prison, according to our information. The prisoner is “particularly dangerous.”

According to a statement of the prison administration, regional security response teams (ERIS) Lille, elite response units of the prison administration, were dispatched on site.

An inmate already convicted hostage. The inmate involved, Fabrice Boromée a Guadeloupean 35, was sentenced to eight years in prison in January 2014 for a hostage-taking committed in December 2013 to the prison center of Alençon-Condé-sur- Sarthe, Orne.

At the time, with a second inmate armed with a canteen knife he had held for several hours a supervisor, demanding to be transferred. “You know Condé? It’s not choir boys there, I have to walk around armed,” he assured the hearing. The man has 14 convictions under his belt, including 11 for violence. At his trial, the man had already visited 83 prisons.

A prison commissioning this year. The central house of Vendin-le-Vieil was commissioned in 2015. It has 51 inmates for a capacity of 203 seats.
