New attack at the Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto prison (Messina): this was made known by the president of CON.SI.PE., Mimmo Nicotra, adding that “the reasons that caused the attack on the two Penitentiary Police officers of the Longano prison are not known but since they were probably subjects with psychiatric pathologies it would not be strange if there were no real triggers. As Con.si.pe. we have been denouncing the inadequacy for some time now of penitentiary facilities to house inmates with psychiatric or psychological problems, but even today the status quo has not seen any, albeit minimal, sign of change. The Barcelona Penitentiary Police staff who have the burden of ensuring the safety of many psychiatric inmates continue to be asked for daily sacrifices but now, according to CON.SI.PE., the time has come to give concrete answers to ensure work shifts that do not end up in hospital emergency rooms”, concludes Nicotra.
