Another man left alone to die in prison: VB, 53, took his own life in his cell in the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison, yet another victim of a prison system that seems to have lost all humanity.
Behind every number, every statistic, there is a story of suffering, of desperation, of a human being who cried out for help without being heard.
78 suicides since the beginning of the year: these are not just data, they are broken lives, destroyed families, a collective failure. Italian prisons, instead of being places of re-education, have become tombs, where men and women are thrown away and forgotten.
The news was released by the regional guarantor of people subjected to restrictive measures of freedom Samuele Ciambriello: "Politics is silent, but the pain speaks. It is time to raise our voices and say enough to this carnage. It is time to stop hiding our heads in the sand and face reality", he explained.
And then he added: “We need a radical change of direction, serious investments in mental health, rehabilitation and social reintegration of prisoners.
We can no longer afford to lose more lives. Every suicide is a failure of the State, an admission of incompetence. It is time to act, to humanize prison, to give a second chance to those who have made mistakes”.
