Prisoner escaped during talk about reinsertion into society

The prisoner who escaped on Wednesday was giving a talk about reinsertion into society.

The prisoner was addressing a class at Costa Teguise secondary school, as part of Tahiche Prison’s Educational Therapy Unit. Two prison guards escorted him to the school, but the prisoner managed to give them the slip and reinsert himself into society rather earlier than planned.

There is no indication that the prisoner poses any risk at all to the general public.
