Salerno, package with drugs and phones thrown in prison

“Gift” packages are arriving for the inmates locked up in the prison of Salerno-Outside. Only they are not delivered personally but “launched” from the outside in the sports field. And the content leaves no doubt and confirms the circumstance, also written down in black and white by the Prosecutor’s Office, that the Salerno prison has become a real drug dealing square. In fact, inside it, well-stocked 107 grams of hashishseveral grams of crackand handsetone smartphone of the latest generation and two battery chargers. The prison police prevented the “gift” from ending up in the hands of the recipient. As reported by the Osapp union, the “throw” was noticed by a prison policewoman, who was on duty in the control room yesterday morning, who realized that someone had thrown a package into the sports field, a place that, after a few minutes, would be “occupied” by the inmates of the sixth section.

For this reason, the alarm was raised and the emergency machinery for this type of emergency was immediately set in motion. The blue berets intervened and seized the package, finding the “surprise” inside. The intervention of the penitentiary police officers, therefore, prevented the “goods” from being taken by the recipient and, therefore, introduced into the internal drug dealing market of the city penitentiary.

«It’s not the first time – highlight the leaders of the autonomous trade union organization of the penitentiary police – that a similar episode occurs. In the past, throwing from outside the prison had forced the authorities to close the sports field for a long period, following the indications of the Prosecutor’s Office. We are with the penitentiary police staff of the Salerno prison who once again demonstrated, with concrete facts, their professionalism and commitment to ensuring legality within the penitentiary, despite the many operational difficulties they face on a daily basis. The work of the penitentiary police is confirmed as crucial for maintaining order and security within detention facilities. Yesterday’s intervention represents yet another proof of the dedication and competence of the staff in service, capable of successfully dealing with threats to legality on a daily basis, despite the numerous obstacles», they highlight from Osapp.
