RAGUSA – Prison officers attacked in Ragusa prison, trade unions rise up. “Enough is enough, the measure is full. Security within prisons must become a priority commitment.”
This was stated in a note from FP Cgil Sicilia after “yet another serious act of violence which took place in a penitentiary institution on the island. In Ragusa, where two officers were injured at the hands of a foreign prisoner, who, by simulating hanging, attracted the attention of the two men on duty. As soon as they entered the cell to try to save him, both of them, who then ended up in the emergency room, were attacked with a sharp plastic object”, denounces the union.
“It is a situation that has become unsustainable and intolerable – say the general secretary of the Sicilian public function, Gaetano Agliozzo, and the FP Ragusa secretary, Nunzio Fernandez – we need to find timely and incisive countermeasures so as not to jeopardize the health and lives of those who guarantee the security service in prisons every day”.
“The Department of Penitentiary Administration – conclude Agliozzo and Fernandez – must take action, planning immediate interventions that ensure conditions for a greater and more effective level of safety”.
