The controlled was torn to the hair and beaten with kicks and punches who procured several trauma and an evident bruise under the eye, at the height of the cheekbone. “Only thanks to the intervention of the staff present – say Giovanni Battista Durante, adding general secretary of Sappe and Francesco Ciccone, regional secretary – has avoided the worst. It is not tolerable as it happens in prisons, due to the arrogance and violence of some prisoners, for whom we continue to ask for dedicated institutes, in which to be discounted for the sentence, until they learn to respect the rules”.
Also in Rossano, yesterday, a prisoner brought to the hearing at the Court of Cosenza tried to attack the judges and the escort staff who, with the support of staff of the weapon, managed to bring him to calm. “We are told that, often, the Administration sends in Rossano prisoners previously removed for reasons of order and safety. We therefore ask for a more careful assessment of the prison of Rossano, as regards the management of prisoners, given that the attacked staff cannot find themselves in front of the prisoner who previously used it violence”.
