(ANSA) – TERNI, 13 DEC – Another episode of violence in the Terni prison, where on Sunday afternoon two inmates in revolt destroyed and set fire to their cell.

The incident took place in the medium security detention section. According to reports from the Sappe (Autonomous Prison Police Syndicate) and confirmed by prison sources, the two – one Italian and the other Tunisian – after having damaged the room in which they were locked up, using the radiator as a ram, tried to open it, throwing some gas cylinders set on fire and wrapped in paper in the corridor of the section and also setting fire to the mattress and some T-shirts.

The situation – explains Fabrizio Bonino, national secretary for Umbria del Sappe – “was best managed by the staff on duty, in particular the inspector of the prison police in charge of general surveillance, and by some other agents who, although disassembled from the shift and free in the barracks, they immediately rushed to give support to their colleagues on duty “. “This – continues Bonino – is what the prison policemen on duty in Sabbione have to face in their daily life. It is unacceptable. What do you expect to transfer these characters, one of whom had already destroyed another cell in recent days and spat at a nurse? “.

Tomorrow, the visit, already planned for some time, by the director of the prison administration department, Bernardo Petralia, is expected in the structure. For several weeks in the Terni prison there have been news episodes such as fights, scuffles, acts of self-harm and attacks against prison policemen. (HANDLE).
