Naples - "Today there were 2037 inmates present, of whom 245 with psychiatric problems spread across various wards including Florence, Livorno left, Milan left, Avellino right and finally some in the San Paolo ward.

6 of 25/1/2018 pursuant to art.33.3, it is necessary to immediately establish a Simple Operational Unit of the Internal Mental Health Department, foreseen by the resolution but not yet implemented".

This was stated upon leaving the Poggioreale prison in Naples, after some conversations with the inmates, by the regional guarantor for people subjected to restrictive measures of personal freedom, Samuele Donut "Just as the Department of Mental Health (DSM) is made up of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, psychiatric rehabilitation technicians, educators, and healthcare assistants, so these figures must be present in prison.

Currently, there are two psychiatrists present in Poggioreale. Therefore, treating mental illness requires more than just the presence of a psychiatrist."
