Attack in Carinola prison, Vargas of Sinappe criticizes the open prison regime

Carinola. This is the third attack in six months against prison officers serving in Carinola prison. Si.NAPPe national secretary Luigi Vargas criticizes the dynamic custody system. "A particularly violent inmate attacked and injured two of our colleagues, who had to seek medical and hospital treatment after being violently attacked by the inmate. They deserve our applause, our solidarity, and our support. And yet, we wonder," says Vargas, "whether it is appropriate to persist with dynamic surveillance, an open detention regime that, in light of the facts, is showing its flaws. The time has come to put an end to this carnage. We can no longer accept that these events continue to occur against representatives of the State, whose only crime is to carry out their institutional duties with professionalism and a spirit of sacrifice. Dynamic custody is often interpreted, especially by particularly violent and submissive inmates, as a softening of the prison regime, instilling in them the belief that they will remain unpunished. Yesterday's serious incident was dealt with by only two officers, and to restore order and security, almost the entire facility had to be uncovered, given the significant staffing shortages in Carinola prison. This cannot be done." let's not go on like this anymore." He then continues: "These frequent episodes of aggression undermine the serenity of the police officers, forced to systematically work understaffed, particularly in Carinola, and with increasingly unsustainable and stressful workloads, aggravated by the tension caused by significant overcrowding. We guarantee the safety of citizens and the State, but who will guarantee our own safety?! It is not possible to continue to guarantee safety without increasing staffing, relying solely on the spirit of sacrifice of prison officers subjected to increasingly unsustainable workloads. We demand concrete interventions from the Penitentiary Administration. We are ready to take to the streets with demonstrations and other forms of dissent permitted by law to loudly voice our indignation and force the inertia that has stagnated in Campania's penitentiaries for too long. Therefore, legitimate forms of dissent cannot be ruled out on the part of the Si. NAP Pe party, which from now on will not be accepting invitations to the Penitentiary Police Corps celebrations to be held in the coming months. days in Campania's institutions. We have nothing to celebrate."
