The rat infestation at Saint-Gilles prison has still not been eradicated, according to several videos obtained by Sudpresse and Het Nieuwsblad on Friday. These images show rats wandering around the prison yard as well as in the cells. The Central Prison System Supervisory Board (CCSP) recognizes the problem and says that the measures put in place so far to eliminate the rats have not yet borne fruit.
The phenomenon has already been going on for some time. In 2022, the CCSP wrote in its annual report that the environment of Saint-Gilles prison was “soft” and “some areas of the penitentiary institution are so dirty that you only believe it following seeing it with your own eyes“. In 2019, an inmate testified to BRUZZ, saying that “rats step on your body at night“.
