TRENT. “The criminal execution system suffers from years of abandonment and lack of reforms”. These are the words of Andrea Ostellari, Undersecretary of State for Justice, in Trento at this time. “Step by step we are working to solve the problems.”
The Undersecretary of State for Justice was in the capital for a meeting with the unions of the penitentiary police but also with the president of the Province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, the ladies Vanessa Cattoi and Elena Testorthe provincial councilors Stefania Segnana and Mirko Bisesti.
The prison situation is complex. Cases of scabies that they hit prisoners And policemenepisodes of aggressionOf overcrowdingdifficulties in the sinternal educational and healthcare system not to mention the shortages in the number of security personnel. In the prisons of Trento and Bolzano the tension is high.
What makes the situation even more difficult are the frequent transfers of prisoners arriving from Venetian prisons and the fact that Trento and Bolzano do not have (and they won’t have for a long time) a regional prison administration board but everything depends on Venice (Article here).
Many topics are on the agenda at the summit and one step is to increase the presence of penitentiary staff at district house of Trento.
“I can assure you that the requests of the union representatives of the penitentiary police have been taken into consideration and will soon receive a response. Already today in Spini di Gardolo, as in the rest of Italian prisons, the staff of pedagogical officials has been 100% covered. at the lack of uniformed staffnew additions from the 184th student course will arrive by the end of the year”, concludes Ostellari.
