Suicide in Bancali prison.
An inmate has been found died yesterday morning in the Bancali prison, in Sassari. Using a lace from his trousers, he performed the gesture after returning from hospital the previous evening. The victim, an Italian with mental problems, acted while his cellmate he was sleeping. The guarantor of the prisoners, Irene Testa, commented on the story.
“In prisons people continue to die with noose around the neck. It is a massacre that seems to have no end. The suicide that occurred yesterday in Sassari prison marks the 27th since the beginning of the year. This data is an alarm bell that indicates that the penitentiary system is in a situation emergency condition. Prison police officers have also taken their own lives, three since the beginning of the year. Is it possible that the entire prison system should fall on those who work in those places and yes pretends not to see What happens? Until we think we can contain the malaise within institutions by hiding the problem. The President of the Republic urges the Government and Parliament to intervene.”
