Escape attempt foiled at prison Avellino, named after Antimo Graziano. An inmate managed to escape from the walking area and climb onto the roof of the internal tunnel, perhaps in an attempt to escape.
The announcement was made by Marianna Argenio, regional vice-secretary of the Autonomous Union of Penitentiary Police (Sappe), who underlined how the timely intervention of the agents prevented the escape.

The Sappe is now asking for recognition for the officers who intervened and for the transfer of the prisoner to an institution outside Campania.
