They try to foil score settlement in prison, officers attacked

(ANSA) – NAPLES, 07 MAY – “Attacks on penitentiary workers, scarce resources, sense of abandonment, these are the resounding phenomena that are now arriving in unison from the Campania penitentiary institutions: yesterday afternoon two young officers of the Department paid the price Danubio of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison, in the Caserta area, brutally attacked by some inmates because they prevented them from completing an attempt to settle internal accounts”. The serious episode was made known in a joint statement by the Sinappe, Uil Pp Pa, Uspp and Cisl Fns unions who expressed their closeness and solidarity “not only to the injured officers but to all those who today more than ever demonstrate a sense of institutions and self-denial by continuing to provide security where security should be an absolute right for those who work in fulfilling their institutional mandate”. For the agents, the note continues, the intervention of health workers was necessary for the necessary treatment. “We are witnessing carnage – conclude the unions – in a penitentiary system now in absolute collapse, which is why in the next few days the unions will jointly protest in front of the headquarters of the Regional Directorate of Penitentiary Administration”.
