Benevento. He attempted to escape from prison in Benevento taking advantage of the confusion of the relatives of the inmates leaving the facility after having visited their relatives, but the careful vigilance of the Penitentiary Police prevented the serious critical event from arising.
The man, in fact, who had gone up to the upper floor of the rooms, was immediately intercepted by the police. The news was given by the Autonomous Union of Penitentiary Police Know andOsapp.
“Excellent intervention by the Penitentiary Police which highlighted the professionalism and sense of duty with which they carry out their service”, comments the Secretary General of the Autonomous Union of Penitentiary Police Donato Capece.
The leader of Sappe once again underlines the critical issues of Italian prisons: “A big round of applause goes to the police officers of Benevento who discovered the attempt of the man, who was immediately stopped. In the 200 penitentiaries of the country, the overcrowding in the cells remains significantly high compared to the actual beds, those actually available, not those that theoretically could be made available.
One problem is the lack of work, which makes prisoners apathetic. Another is the lack of concrete measures against those who break the rules inside the penitentiaries. But it should also be highlighted that the Penitentiary Police staff is 7 thousand units short and that the prison cannot continue with the exclusive custodial concept that has characterized it until today.
And let us say it, we who are among the prisoners, on the front lines, 24 hours a day. New measures are urgently needed to guarantee order and safety in prison”. Sappe highlights that in the first six months of 2022 there were 10 escapes from penitentiary institutions, another 9 prisoners had been admitted to work outside and 13 after having benefited from reward permits”.
Vincent Palmieri, regional secretary of Osapp Campania remarks: "The dramatic lack of personnel no longer guarantees safety, an essential condition for ensuring treatment. Applause to the Penitentiary Police of the interview department who in this circumstance were not caught unprepared. As Osapp we will insist on asking the top management of the Prap and DAP to transfer those who do not comply with the penitentiary regulation and at the same time to the political leaders and the Minister to increase personnel in all roles to strengthen security measures as well as legislative interventions for a reform of the system in terms of execution of the sentence and everything that is in it".
