Donated to the detainees 130 ventilators purchased from Ucciardone prison by regional deputies Ismaele La Vardera (South calls North) and Valentina Chinnici (PD) after the prisoners had requested them during a visit at the end of July.
"We had witnessed," La Vardera said, "the great discomfort the inmates were experiencing during this scorching heat. Having a fan has literally changed their lives.
We made a commitment and, with the Honorable Chinnici, we purchased the ventilators, which, thanks to the support of the Salerno Trasporti company, were delivered to the prison commander Francesco Cerami.

A small gesture that will bring relief to those who certainly made mistakes, but deserve a dignified detention." A gesture of generosity that also involved the company that sold these ventilators, considering that "in addition to the discount, the company also gave away 20 ventilators" in addition to the 10 received from the Gospel Forum church in Palermo.
"Goodness spreads by itself," said Thomas Aquinas, "and this story proves it. Our small gesture of solidarity has sparked a chain of generosity that has reached many people, including the business owners of Termini Imerese who wanted to do their part to contribute to the well-being of inmates in cells where temperatures exceed 40 degrees.
Thus demonstrating that Ucciardone is felt as an integral part of Palermo and the prisoners are men whose dignity is important to everyone".
