GI “Prisoner raped in prison”, complaint from the guarantor in Santa Maria Capua Vetere: authorities should intervene.
An alleged sexual assault suffered by an inmate of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison at the hands of another inmate has been reported by the guarantor for the province of Caserta, Emanuela Belheart, who learned of the fact during a visit to the Caserta institute, known in the news for the beatings suffered by inmates at the hands of prison police in April 2020, but also for the chronically difficult conditions in which the officers themselves work and the inmates live, including lack of water and overcrowding.
Belcuore had gone to prison for the attempted suicide of an inmate, but then another inmate asked her for an interview to tell his story. sexual violence suffered in prison by another inmate, his former cellmate.
“I am destroyed as a man, I no longer have any dignity,” the prisoner tells me, who was allegedly raped in his cell while the other prisoners were doing their hour of fresh air. The manner was brutal, the exhausted story of a person who entered prison to serve a sentence and came out changed for life was scathing. He desperately asks me for help.
What happened immediately after the regular complaint has some black holes that need to be explored – adds Belcuore – both for the health area and for the transfer request which was strangely rejected, just as it is strange that the alleged rapist is still in his department left to his duties.
I have reported everything to the competent authorities, both prisoners should be transferred. I ask for help from politics so that between Ibiza and Capri they can also disembark in Santa Maria Capua Vetere” concludes the guarantor of prisoners.
