Osapp, in Campania the situation is almost out of control, there is a risk of a comatose state, by now the overcrowding is frightening" in many institutes in the region, in particular at the CR Aversa, despite our appeals, even subjects who are difficult to manage and with mental health pathologies are assigned, not to mention Carinola, Salerno, Avellino, Ariano Irpino, Sant'angelo dei Lombardi and Santa Maria CV, not less than Poggioreale and Secondigliano, the latter location recently following the closure of Pozzuoli caused by the earthquake also hosts female users allocated in semi-liberty where structural adjustment works are being carried out to strengthen security, in all this the female staff is suffering strong inconveniences due to the organizational chaos of the Prap which did well in the immediate aftermath of the event, while subsequently it was not very sensitive to the inconvenience caused to the policewomen and also to the users who were bullied back and forth.
In Campania, in the face of a capacity of approximately 5000 inmates in 15 institutions, there are approximately 7000 inmates well beyond the regulatory and tolerable capacity. The Penitentiary Police personnel in service in the district and those of the NOTP are at the end of their strength, they can't take it anymore".
The complaint comes from the regional secretary of the autonomous penitentiary police union organization Vincenzo Palmieri, after the multiple attacks and critical events that have occurred with significant damage to the structures and attacks on staff.
Osapp defines the situation at the limit of the control of the Campania penitentiaries as elsewhere is serious. The staff has no rest. Due to the very serious shortage of staff - about 800 units are missing compared to the 182 that will arrive at the end of July, mobility at a national level -, the subjective rights of the staff such as summer holidays, permits L. 104, study permits, weekly rests are seriously at risk and there is a strong increase in absences due to illness due to the strong psycho-physical stress from work related, interminable hours of service with an average of 9/12 hours a day and 8 nights, unpaid overtime, unpaid missions, meal vouchers not accredited, so much so that the health of the men and women of the Penitentiary Police is undermined", concludes the Osapp union, significant integration of police personnel and of the central functions sector is urgently needed as well as legislative interventions and changes to ensure treatment and safety.
