The 42-year-old Turkish citizen - who was serving a seven-year sentence - had been making stationery with other prisoners destined for the shops.
At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier. His whereabouts are still unknown.
The chief warden of the jail told the BBC this was an embarrassing incident.
There's the famous true tale of Henry “Box” Brown, a Virginia slave who escaped by having himself mailed to freedom in a crate. He had the help of an abolitionist doctor living in Philadelphia.

I got to explore a "patent cell" in Silverton, Co, circa 1890. Anybody escapes from jail or prison, it's human error.
