Inmates Break Out Of Russian Prison

Details Remain Limited

Six inmates have escaped from a correctional colony in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia, authorities said Sunday. The inmates escaped from the colony in the village of Ikreevo.

Few details about the escape have been released, and it was not immediately clear how the inmates managed to break out of the prison. A search operation is underway, and authorities are asking for the public's help in locating the escaped inmates.

The escape is the latest in a series of security breaches at Russian prisons in recent years. In 2018, a group of inmates escaped from a prison in Rostov-on-Don, and in 2019, a group of inmates escaped from a prison in the Republic of Mordovia.

The escapes have raised concerns about the security of Russian prisons and the ability of the authorities to prevent future breakouts.
