Philip Imundi Prison releases are highly sought after by inmates because they allow them to escape from prison for a few hours, allowing them to return, even if only briefly, to normal life and to see loved ones they haven't seen in a long time. However, sometimes these releases turn into unexpected escapes.
The police found him in the closet at his mother's house
After disappearing for several weeks, the Carabinieri began searching for an inmate who seemed to have disappeared, given that he hadn't returned to prison. Given his unusual circumstances, it was conceivable he might have returned to his family.
Given the prisoner's young age, returning home was among the most likely options , and indeed, that's exactly what happened. The man managed to reach Giuliano, in the province of Naples, where he's originally from, and hide at his mother's house.
The Carabinieri found him inside a closet and there was no escape for him and he was arrested again.
He had been released from prison to go on leave to attend his son's baptism.
The case began last September 16 when the 22-year-old prisoner was granted day release to attend his son's baptism.
The first suspicions arose from the fact that he did not return to the Bellizzo Irpino prison where he was being held.
The search lasted three weeks until the parents' house was found, given that no one opened the door when the soldiers rang the bell, the two officers then broke in from the balcony as reported by TGCom24.
The young fugitive was arrested again and will now serve a sentence of 3 months and two days in a new prison, in this case the one in Poggioreale in the province of Naples.
