Naples, prisoner dies in prison in Poggioreale

"Vittorio, the drug-addicted prisoner from the Rome section of Poggioreale who died yesterday for reasons yet to be ascertained was taken to the Secondo Policlinico in Naples for an autopsy. The father of three children aged 10, 6 and 3, he turned himself in on January 16, 2021 and had a hearing on Thursday for receiving stolen goods and resisting a public official. During the week he had had meetings with his lawyer, a video call with his wife the day before and a visit from the epidemiological consultant”.

This is what the guarantor of prisoners Samuele underlines Donut who asks for "justice and truth". "Deaths in prison - he adds - for various causes cannot be just numbers. How many deaths must occur among prisoners to also outrage public opinion? And why doesn't cynical and fearful politics decide? In this time of Pandemic, punishment, today, brings with it more than yesterday an overload of suffering and humiliation not written in the sentence and, above all, it fails to rebuild a new identity on which to graft a path of change".
