Spokeswoman Valérie Callebaut of the prison system confirms that luxury articles have been found during a sweeping of the cell, but contradicts that detainees can just order caviar. « For the sake of clarity: caviar is not permitted. The prohibited goods have been seized and the necessary measures have been taken. »
The spokeswoman acknowledges that prisoners can buy the canteen with their own budget food, but they only choose from a limited list of products that the prison draws up and controls. « And Kaviar is not part of that, » said Callebaut.

Because the DVD player was not sealed in the right way, he was confiscated, just like the truffle zest and the caviar. « All electronic equipment arrives in prison is sealed. If the seal is removed, it is a sign that the prisoner has hidden something in the device, such as drugs or a mobile phone, » says a source from prison Drumpressness.
