The dynamics of the escape operation reconstructed Prisons director: "They had accomplices inside..." TIRANA - It has been described as the "escape of the century" and, indeed, it is. Twenty convicted prisoners managed to flee from prison 313 in the capital and then vanished into the darkness of the night, leaving no trace. When the clock struck 10:00 p.m. on Sunday evening, 20 Albanian and foreign inmates, using improvised tools, managed to tear apart the bars of several cells, move through the cells of the politicians, then out through a window and end up in the prison yard. From there, they climbed over the perimeter wall, helped by an improvised rope made of bedsheets, and disappeared into the alleys of the "Ali Demi" neighborhood. At least, that is the preliminary sequence of this incredible escape. According to official sources, the escapees are said to have reached the ground from a height of about 8 meters. For this, they had tied sheets together in the cell to make a rope. They are then believed to have climbed over the outer wall and managed to get away with the help of other people. It is suspected that the convicts had both inside and outside accomplices.
