He sawed through the bars of his cell and lowered himself into the void with knotted sheets, just like in the movies. And so, during the night, a 41-year-old inmate of Albanian origin managed to escape from Opera prison in Milan. The man, who is serving a long sentence ending in 2048, would be making his fourth escape.
Gennarino De Fazio, general secretary of the Uilpa Penitentiary Police, announced this. "It's still unclear how he managed to climb over the walls and whether he enjoyed outside complicity," De Fazio continued. "What is certain is that this latest episode, combined with the daily drama experienced in prisons and everything else that's happening, further confirms the failure of prison policies implemented by governments over at least the last 25 years, including the most recent ones."
"The Penitentiary Police and other law enforcement agencies are currently searching for the escapee, and we are confident that the Central Investigative Unit of the Penitentiary Police and its local branches can fix the situation this time too. But it's clear that we can't move forward by plugging loopholes of all kinds and without a real and concrete plan worthy of a civilized country," adds the Uilpa secretary, recalling that "in the Opera prison, 1,338 inmates are crammed into 918 available places (153% overcrowding) and are managed, as best they can, by just 533 officers, when at least 811 (-34%) are needed."
