Get the inside scoop on the large-scale fire safety and evacuation drill that rocked the Halle Prison this morning! Emergency responders from both the fire department and the Ministry of Justice were put to the test under real-life circumstances.

A fiery smoke-filled spectacle was simulated in a prison block, causing quite the commotion. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice confirmed that all inmates were promptly evacuated, with 19 of them being moved to an exercise yard. Regrettably, one individual went missing during the chaos, but was later found lifeless by the first responders.

Now that the exercise is over, it's time for an evaluation. Surprise drills like these are regularly held in Saxony-Anhalt's prisons, located in Burg, Halle, and Volkstedt. The Halle Prison, known as the "Red Ox," features a main facility and a satellite facility, accommodating a total of 614 detainees in Halle on the Saale.

Let's dive deeper into what these drills involve and the key players involved:
