The 36-year-old prisoner, Umberto Reazione, who escaped from Livorno prison on 22 June, was recaptured in Rome. “The escape of Umberto Reazione who managed to escape from the Livorno prison yesterday afternoon by climbing over the surrounding wall and losing track of himself lasted just over 24 hours – explains the Uilpa union -. Thanks to the tireless work of the Unit central investigation (Nic) and its territorial branches of the Penitentiary Police and the collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, the man was tracked down at the Rome Tiburtina railway station by the police”.
“The applause and thanks of the Uilpa Penitentiary Police goes to the Nic, to its director, first director Ezio Giacalone, and to the other police forces who have once again patched up the multiple flaws of the penitentiary system adrift. But it is quite clear that the problems remain – comments Gennarino De Fazio, general secretary of the Uilpa Penitentiary Police – a prison decree is needed immediately allow for significant extraordinary and accelerated hiring in the Penitentiary Police Force, which is 18 thousand short of people, the strengthening of equipment and instruments, the deflation of prison density, with 14 thousand prisoners in excess, and the strengthening of healthcare. At the same time, it is necessary initiate the overall reform of the entire penal enforcement apparatus, especially inframura, and reorganize the penitentiary police force”.
