(ANSA) – NAPLES, NOVEMBER 17 – He was about to be the victim of the fire he had started in the sleeping room but the timely intervention of the agents saved his life: it happened late yesterday afternoon, in the Salerno department of the Poggioreale prison . The prisoner, of Calabrian origins, risked dying. The episode was made known by the regional deputy secretary of Osapp Campania Luigi Castaldo according to whom what happened “demonstrates the dangerousness of the work carried out by the prison policemen who, despite the scarce human and instrumental resources, managed to save once again, a human life.
Castaldo recalls the complexity of the Naples-Poggioreale prison which has over 2200 inmates with a maximum capacity of 1600, “where there are various uninhabitable wards, awaiting restructuring, and this – he stresses – does nothing but create further inconvenience” .
“To all this is added a serious and atavistic shortage of staff for over 200 units in front-line roles, a lack of health workers, administrators, psychologists and other essential figures for the fulfillment of the institutional mandate of a civil prison”. The national secretary of Osapp Leo Beneduci points out that there are many penitentiaries in Campania that are in “disastrous and dangerous conditions, both structurally and organizationally”. “In the region the staff shortage is strong – he concludes – over 1000 units, and this entails mandatory overtime, accumulation of thousands of ordinary leave, and inevitably strong work stress”.
