Latvian pianist Jennifer Rumpane, who was arrested in Italy at the end of the summer, has recently returned to his homeland. Rumpani was accused of driving without a ticket on public transport and hiding his name from the police. In Karl Serganta, Paula Ivanova’s material “Jennifer Rumpane:” Prison was not easy. I would even say it went pretty harshly. In the “What’s New” edition, the pianist shares her impressions of the prison in Italy.
According to Jennifer, it was not easy for her in prison. All the prison guards looked at him as zero.
From the beginning, she was in solitary confinement for 14 days because of Covid-19, but then for five days she lived in the same cell with a recidivist who had mental problems, and the woman was teasing all the time.
“I slammed the door, jerked the bars, hit my head against the wall and finally drank some floor cleaner. While the doctor came, I at least forced her to drink water and even breathed,” Rumpāne recalls.
He was then taken to another floor where he could already leave the cells. On Sunday, she went to the prison at the prison and saw a piano. During the next service, Jennifer played “Blow, winds!” and his song “Do You Feel” with words in Italian. Many prisoners even mourned.
As the pianist’s mother Vija Rumpāne told the Independent before, remembering the events of 6 years ago, the daughter had not ridden a bunny – the ticket had been bought for her, but at the moment when the controllers asked to show it, she could not find it immediately – she searched her pockets, purse and panicked . When asked what he was called and where he lived, Jennifer mentioned one of the first fictional words that came to mind because he was very stressed about the bad situation he found himself in. She showed the passport to the police and named her, and released her with the urge to stop doing so. The musician could not have imagined the horrific consequences of her violation.
