From the inadequacy of organic plants, to the exhausting shifts, up to the inadequacy of the healthcare system and the management of psychiatric subjects. These and other urgencies were discussed during the meeting requested of the prefect of Cosenza Vittoria Ciaramella by the unions of the Security – Penitentiary Police sector and in which, in addition to the representatives of the social forces, the leaders of the regional penitentiary administration and the directors of the penitentiary institutions of Cosenza and Rossano. This was reported in a press release from the trade union organisations.
“The unions – it is added – have highlighted the failure to guarantee the subjective rights of workers belonging to the Penitentiary Police Corps, data also noted by the representatives of the prison administration. We then discussed the attacks and the management of critical events which are constantly growing, the shortage of personnel and the poor organization of work, which in the opinion of the regional coordinator of the CGIL Penitentiary Police Public Function, Angelo Boeti, are at the basis of the evils and the dysfunctions that afflict the prisons of Cosenza and Rossano, and in particular the second. Regarding the presence of psychiatric subjects and the inadequacy of the healthcare system in the penitentiary world, reassurances have emerged from the Regional Penitentiary Police Superintendency as some provincial healthcare companies are paying greater attention to the distribution of psychiatric specialists. Which would allow us to avoid the concentration of this type of user in a few institutions. It was noted that despite the efforts made with the increase in staff, this will barely be able to make up for the quiescences”.
“The Regional Superintendent, Liberato Guerriero – the note states again – reassured him of his intervention to try to examine the issue of the organic plants, while the first director of the Penitentiary Police, Domenico Paino, to whom a Wolf for his new role as head of the regional management of personnel in the sector, has assured his commitment to holding training courses that should give greater preparation and therefore safety to operators in the management of critical events”.
Prefect Ciaramella listened to the parties and committed to intervening with the offices of the Department of Penitentiary Administration to report the critical issues that emerged from the meeting.
