Oopsie in O-town: Bordeaux Prison Frees Wrong (Presumably) Criminal Thanks to Name Snafu

Released Prisoner Unmasked as Imposter - New Identity Was Assumed by False Inmate - Mistaken Identity Leads to Wrong Prisoner's Release from Jail
Listen up, folks! The Bordeaux prison ain't exactly setting a new standard in accuracy lately. What's supposed to be a bustling hub of justice and rehabilitation has turned into a wild game of "twin inmates." Not too long ago, those geniuses at Bordeaux-Gradignan prison accidentally freed a convict expected to be deported instead.
Theft-and-murdering-type guy, sentenced to ten years behind bars, is on the loose, and the big cheeses are looking for him like he's hidin' Ed Sheeran's guitar (but nobody's gonna pat him on the back for rescue efforts). Apparently, this dude's name's identity card was swapped with another inmate's, and the mix-up ended up in the release of Freddy Krueger Jr. instead of Freddy Krueger Sr.
The Show Must Go (Wrong) Way
You ever forget where you left your car keys? Imagine bein' the guy who thought he was gettin' out on a technicality only to realize later they let the guy he Murder Inc'd go instead. At least he had the good manners to play along when the guards called his cell. The main man agreed to be sprung even though he knew he ain't supposed to be goin' anywhere anytime soon.
Old Man Justice got a bit red-faced when he found out about the gaffe and ordered an investigation into this mess. Well played, Bordeaux prison. You've really earned your stripes as the least trustworthy institution in France.
