5. Fire Boot
Location: Algeciras (Cádiz)
Number of inmates: 1049
Number of attacks: 11
In fifth position there are three penalties with the same number of attacks (11): Botafuegos, Teixeiro (Galicia) and Valencia. The latter distorts, because it is the largest (it houses 1,600 prisoners); By pure statistics it is more likely that more attacks will be recorded there. But here the one that stands out for its uniqueness is Algeciras, which is known as the 'Drug Prison' because it brings together the most important traffickers in Campo de Gibraltar.
The nature of these prisoners means that some episodes are recorded, such as the introduction of drones from outside by people from their criminal gangs, which supply them with drugs or mobile phones. In this prison, 11 attacks on officials have been reported until September 30. In 2016, the year with the worst data since 2022, the number was 7.
Algeciras also leads the ranking of phones intercepted by officials within the facilities. A total of 690 in the last 5 years. The cell phone is the object most in demand by this type of prisoners, because many of them are traffickers who want to continue managing the drug businesses they ran outside from within. This was the prison in which 5 telephone terminals were seized from a prisoner who left on leave and he inserted them rectally before re-entering.

4 - Las Palmas II
Location: Gran Canaria
Number of attacks: 13
The Canarian prison of Las Palmas II has the dubious honor of being the only one in the top 5 on the list that does not have more than a thousand inmates. Even so, it has recorded a total of 13 attacks on officials in the first three quarters of 2022. In 2016, 19 were recorded between the two Gran Canaria prisons (Las Palmas I and II), this year, only this conflictive prison has already been put into operation. similar figures.
3 - Port III
Location: The Port of Santamaría (Cádiz)
Number of inmates: 1,254
Number of attacks: 15
The profile of prisoners in this Cádiz prison is quite similar to that of the aforementioned Botafuegos; Many of those convicted of drug trafficking in the province of Cádiz end up there, so the problems are similar. Including the attempt to bring mobile phones and prohibited substances into the prison by means of drones piloted from outside.
2 - Seville II
Location: Morón de la Frontera (Seville)
Number of inmates: 1,192
Number of attacks: 17
Seville II is the second with the most attacks on the list and the one that has seen that number grow the most compared to 2016, the year in which 8 were reported. Only in the first three quarters of 2022, it doubled and exceeded that double, reaching 17 attacks on prison officials.
The protagonist of last year's last escape escaped from Morón prison. A North African prisoner who is convicted of drug trafficking and who was part of one of the therapeutic walks that some of the prisoners are allowed outside the prison. It happened in the month of May; He took advantage of an oversight and escaped from a prison that, according to the unions, "suffers from many of the problems that Las Palmas II also has, which is, for example, uprooting. The number of prisoners who arrive from other parts" , they tell EL PERIÓDICO DE ESPAÑA from ACAIP.
1 - Madrid V
Location: Soto del Real (Madrid)
Number of inmates: 1,072
Number of attacks: 18
The problem with the Madrid V prison is that "it is a reference place for preventive prisoners. It is a prison in which there is a lot of mobility and the inmate population is much less stable. Thus, it becomes much more difficult to control the most violent inmates; you don't know who they are. Isolation, admission and the infirmary are the departments in which the most attacks on officials occur. When they enter and are in shock, when they are in withdrawal syndrome and go for medication ..." they clarify from ACAIP.
