Genoa – A new episode of violence within the Marassi prison. This morning, around 10.30, two inmates in the third section of the prison resisted the request for a search by the prison police officers.
The two (both young, one Italian and the other of North African origin) not wanting to be searched, then began to beat up the officers: only the intervention of colleagues made it possible to block the two prisoners.
The five policemen (two inspectors, a superintendent and two constables) were taken to the Saint martin for the appropriate treatments: for each of them the prognosis is seven days.
“For some time we have been denouncing the illegal situation on the ground floor of Marassi, where the so-called “unallocatable” prisoners are placed because they are problematic, and where the too small spaces expose the operators to risks”, he says Fabio Pagani, secretary of the Uilpa Penitentiary Police union.
“They are needed concrete interventions to protect the safety of those who must guarantee the safety of the freedom of the republican institutions – added Pagani – To do this, we must start from a serious staffing policy that allows women and men in uniform to operate in numerical congruity, but also to lower the average age of law enforcement officers. We also need better organization, supplies and equipment.”
Donato Capece, general secretary of the Sappe Union: “The attacks against the Penitentiary Police continue in the Ligurian regional prisons without respite. Now Sappe says enough is enough and is ready to demonstrate by implementing all legitimate forms of protest.” Capece returns “to publicly ask that those responsible take into consideration the critical issues of the Penitentiary Police personnel who work in the prisons of Liguria, prisons which are evidently no longer in a position to manage too many types of prisoners, often subjects with particularly violent personalities, without any possibility of a different location within the Region”.
