The 13th inmate to commit suicide since the beginning of the year was found dead by hanging this morning in his cell in the Imperia prison. This was announced by Gennarino De Fazio, general secretary of the Uilpa Penitentiary Police. He is a sixty-six-year-old Italian, originally from Villalba but resident in Liguria, awaiting first trial for attempted femicide of his wife. “The help from the Penitentiary Police was of no avail – states De Fazio in a note – The trend of self-suppression is now at frightening levels, just think that in 2022, when the record figure of 84 suicides was reached, in the whole of January the prisoners who there were 7 who took their own lives. The month is not over yet and the tragic figure has almost doubled.”
