Her serious health problems required the prompt intervention of the police for the fifth time in a few days .

It happened in the Sassari district house , where a prisoner - with a past as a drug addict - was rescued by the officers on duty , who promptly called for help. A policewoman who was aware of the emergency situation last night, during one of the checks, found the woman in the bathroom of the cell, struck by an illness . The prisoner was initially treated by the Institute doctor and then rushed to the hospital. She is now hospitalized and the prognosis remains confidential .

"This episode clearly demonstrates how, especially in a penitentiary institution, events are determined by moments, but it clearly demonstrates once again that psychiatric prisoners or prisoners with serious health problems should be everywhere except in prison". comments the general secretary of the UIL PA Penitentiary Police of Sardinia Michele Cireddu who adds: «If in the other Police Forces saving a human life rightly leads to praise and great admiration from the public opinion, for our police officers these gestures remain in indifference more total . If a tragic epilogue occurs, the operator risks even having a notice of guarantee delivered, as a "deed due"».

Only those who gravitate around the penitentiary system know that " our policemen operate amidst a thousand difficulties , save lives, manage a myriad of critical events, carry out important investigative activities and at the same time know how to provide the right words to prisoners in moments of discomfort. Our applause and thanks go to the personnel who intervened in the 5 times in which the prisoner was rescued for having demonstrated once again that the Penitentiary Police is a healthy and efficient institution », concludes Cireddu.
