Mobile phone smuggling in youth arrest: How a prisoner became a Tikok star!

In a remarkable incident, a prisoner in the youth arrest at Landshut smuggled a mobile phone and then share videos of his life within the institution. These videos were immediately published on the TikKOK platform and caused a sensation because they give insights into his everyday arrest. The incident, which became known in autumn 2023, had the authorities attract attention and adapt relevant security measures for cell phone control.

The correctional facility (JVA) in Landshut confirmed that the arrestant had smuggled the phone in a piece of luggage into its arrest dream. According to a spokeswoman for the JVA, the access procedure has been revised since the incident became known to prevent such incidents in the future. "The arrestant had smuggled his mobile phone into his arrest compartment in a piece of luggage," she said when asked.

In his Tikok videos, the young man shows how he hid the mobile phone under a double floor of his luggage. He also gives a look at the establishment of his arrest dream and presents the content of his meals. The videos found a wide audience and were sometimes viewed up to 1.5 million times. After his release, the prisoner published these recordings, which triggered some turmoil on social media.

The JVA Landshut tried to react a quick reaction to the publications: "We asked Tikkok to delete the videos," said the spokeswoman. So far, however, only a few of the videos have been removed, and the institution is criticized in the media.

The authorities have classified the incident as an individual case. According to the JVA, attempts to smuggle cell phones into the youth arrest agency are generally very rare. This year, 2024, there were only two further attempts; However, these cell phones could be discovered and confiscated in access control.

In order to further increase security, young criminals are no longer allowed to take their luggage into the arrest dream. This new regulation is intended to ensure that a similar incident will be avoided in the future. "The insulation of a mobile phone on the path shown in the video is no longer possible," emphasized the spokeswoman for the JVA.
