Brian K. * (25) aka “Carlos” thinks he’s at war. He beats up prison staff and fellow inmates and can only be tamed by a task force. The special cell built for him for more than 1.8 million francs did not resist the wrath of the inmates for a single day (reported BLICK). During an interview behind bars, Brian gave a haunting insight into his thoughts.
“The cell broke so fast, it surprised me,” he says with a smile to SRF “Rundschau”. Reason for disconnection: cameras in the special cell, which would have allowed him to walk through the courtyard without contact with the guards.
Brian destroyed his cell: “It broke so fast”(02:13)
“What gives strength is anger, it is aggression”
Brian sits behind bulletproof glass during the conversation, is handcuffed and explains: “What gives me strength is anger, aggression. If they want me to lose, they have to kill me. “At the end of 2019, K. was sentenced for 29 attacks behind bars and received a small custody. But he does not want to change, it is” perfect. “
The result: the 25-year-old sits in the “bunker”, where he is isolated 23 hours a day. “It breaks you from the inside,” says Brian. And it angers him even more.
The mood in the Pöschwies can change at any time, as the photos of April 9, 2019 show. Six prison employees are called out for a walk. Brian is taken out of the cell with full protective gear. The situation immediately worsens. Brian K. spits in the direction of the officers. There is a fight. All six of them have trouble tame it. The prosecutor is investigating the incident.
“Carlos” has brought the prison system to the brink of possibilities, forensic psychiatrist Thomas Knecht (61) tells BLICK: “The relationship between prison staff and inmates depends on a certain willingness to cooperate, otherwise you cannot manage such an institution. “
Fight the loss of meaning?
The expert has another fear: Brian K. appears without anonymity, gives interviews repeatedly. And it might even enjoy the public’s attention, so Knecht. “In the meantime, he has” earned “some celebrity status through his troublesome behavior.” And: “If he normalized his behavior, he would run the risk of losing part of the public’s attention.” It remains to be seen whether he will be able to cope with this loss of meaning. “He knows the fastest way to get back in the public eye.”
For Knecht, a final but “legally problematic” solution would be: forced drugs to control Brian’s aggression. Also because the young man lacks insight. “The fact that Brian does not suffer at all from his own being, but that he is perfect, reinforces the impression of incorrigibility”, says the expert.
