Tensions are once again emerging in the prison facilities of Ariano Irpino and Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, a situation denounced by the regional secretary of Sappe, Tiziana Guacci.
During the celebration in memory of the prison officer who recently took his own life in his home in Contrada, province of Avellino, two foreign prisoners in Ariano Irpino started a fight. In an attempt to separate the contenders, a policeman was injured.
At the same time, at the Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi prison, during a search of the cell of an inmate already known for frequent attacks on prison staff, two smartphones, a charger, a rudimentary knife and an iron club hidden under the floor were discovered and confiscated.
This prisoner had already had electronic devices and telephones confiscated in the past. The union had previously requested the transfer of the violent prisoner to another facility, a request that, in light of recent events, was renewed to the regional superintendent of the Dap. The request also includes a review of the methods with which “dynamic surveillance” is implemented in the open penitentiary regime.
