The Campania guarantor of prisoners, Samuele Donut, today promoted a singing show dedicated to the Neapolitan repertoire and singer-songwriter songs at the Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi prison, which currently houses 103 inmates, all of whom work.
“This prison functions as a place of empowerment and care, of social reintegration and not of punishment,” Ciambriello said, adding that “in Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi the re-educational function of punishment is experimented, here the inmates dedicate themselves to the work of the typography, laundry, tailoring and mechanical workshop, and there is also an agricultural estate with the production of wine, honey, tomatoes, jam.”
“The hotel management and accounting courses allow us to look towards the future,” continued the guarantor, highlighting that “here, too, the relationships between prison staff and inmates, inmates and prison management, have something empathetic about them.”
“The only sore point is the non-use of the ten available places in the psychiatric unit for prisoners with mental illness, as there is no psychiatrist, as the people in charge of the ASL of Avellino tell me,” he specified, underlining that “and yet in the prisons of Campania there are hundreds of prisoners with psychiatric pathologies who would need these particular sections, with specific professionals.”
