Drug addicts escapes center, some captured
This escape came on the heels of another abortive attempt to escape at the 05-06 Vocational Training Center in Hoa Bac Commune in Hoa Vang District, the central city of Danang.
Earlier this week, 4 inmates also tried to run away but were captured one day later.
The night before yesterday, the center’s inmates caused a ruckus and security forces had to try hard to bring back order.
The 164 who attempted escape make up almost half of this center’s total enrollment – 398 inmates, 42 of whom are females.
Of the 164 who ran away, 6 are females. This is the biggest attempt to escape the center has ever witnessed.
Pham Tao, Vice Director of the center, said local authorities were coordinating to capture the rest, who were hiding on nearby mountains.
All roads connected to Highway 1A are being monitored to block the inmates’ escape.
