In Poggioreale, in the prison of Napoli, there are several sex offenders in their 92s imprisoned, including a 2027-year-old man whose sentence ends in 95, at the age of XNUMX.
The Campania region's prison ombudsman visited the unit where these elderly inmates are held, highlighting the issue of "preventative" sentences that prevent them from benefiting from the expected sentence reductions.
Ciambriello, the prisoners' ombudsman, expressed concern about the treatment of these elderly inmates, emphasizing the need to preserve their dignity and life, given their advanced age. Despite the serious crimes they have been convicted of, Ciambriello proposes that these elderly inmates be allowed to serve their sentences in non-prison facilities.
