Perugia prison: prisoner sets mattress on fire. Four intoxicated prison officers to save him
Still very high tension in the Capanne prison, in Perugia, due to the crazy intemperance of a foreign inmate and, once again, some of the policemen on duty and some of the furnishings inside the structure are paying the consequences”.
Fabrizio Bonino, national secretary for Umbria of the autonomous Penitentiary Police union is very worried: “The massacre of officers on duty in the Capanne prison in Perugia continues.
A Moroccan prisoner, after being subjected to special surveillance for attempted suicide, set fire to the mattress in his cell and then locked himself in the bathroom.
The police personnel intervened immediately but with great difficulty due to the lack of internal visibility due to the enormous black smoke which prevented the identification of the base of the fire, with the aid of masks and cylinders.”
“These were moments of very high tension – continues the trade unionist.
After ten minutes, the heroic Blue Basques managed to get the prisoner out of the cell and, at the same time, evacuate the section by taking all the prisoners for a walk.
Four policemen were taken to the Silvestrini hospital and underwent treatment.”
“The Sappe requests a ministerial inspection in the Capanne prison to ascertain the significant dysfunctions and inconveniences that reflect on the safety and operation of the prison and of the Penitentiary Police personnel (who work there with professionalism, self-sacrifice and humanity despite a serious shortage of staff and a precarious work organization) and take the appropriate measures”, denounces the general secretary of Sappe Donato Capece.
