Regarding the intervention of the autonomous liberal union on the room for prisoners at the “San Luca” hospital, the USL Toscana nord Ovest company specifies that the strong room in question has always been in operation and has been used regularly for the hospitalization of patients subjected to a prison custody regime until a few weeks ago when a serious episode occurred which made it necessary to temporarily suspend the use of the facility. A person undergoing health treatments has in fact seriously damaged the room, causing extensive structural and plant damage.
The staff of the company in charge of maintenance took steps to make the premises safe and carried out some of the necessary repairs.
However, the damage caused also requires the replacement of some special system components, which are not easy and quick to find, suitable for a room like this, which must be highly safe.
For this reason, hospital care for prisoners is currently provided in specialist departments, always taking care to arrange the use of the room for single use, so as to allow the prison supervisory staff to remain there, as happens in all prisons. hospitals not equipped with an ad hoc structure.
This, obviously, while waiting for the safe room to become available again inside the “San Luca” hospital.
