Another dead in Pallets . The number of crosses in the Sassari prison increases with the disappearance, last night, of a person sentenced to life imprisonment and just over forty.
The news was reported by Sappe , the autonomous prison police union: “The man died yesterday of a heart attack . The causes are not known - writes in a statement Antonio Cannas, national delegate for Sardinia of the trade association - but the man, who had some psychiatric problems, had been surprised on several occasions to inhale gas in the cell of the canister that the prisoners legitimately possess for cooking and heating food and drinks ”.
The Sappe, which speaks of a "sad and serious fact ", proposes to avoid similar tragedies again "that prisons should be equipped with electric plates to heat the food of the prisoners ". Also to prevent the instrument from becoming a blunt weapon both against the agents and among the prisoners themselves, as has happened in recent days.
The union then underlines the high presence of psychiatric inmates in prisons: "And it is serious that, despite being aware of the problems connected with the large presence of psychiatric inmates, the competent authorities have not yet been able to find a solution ".
