New prison alarm in Sardinia. It was launched by the regional guarantor of prisoners who presented his investigation, relating to 2023, on the island's structures.

In addition to the chronic shortage of Penitentiary Police officers, there is the absence of medical personnel, including psychologists and psychiatrists. «Penal institutions are the new mental asylums» said the Guarantor, recalling that in Uta alone, 80% of the inmates are on drug therapy, 33% are drug addicts and 5% suffer from psychiatric pathologies.

"Many people - he added - should be treated in specialized centers which do not exist". From the dossier, the biggest critical issue remains overcrowding: in Uta it is 107%. In Sassari and Tempio 104%.

Island structures, in general, which are inadequate to manage recovery paths: «A situation at the limit of legality - according to Irene Testa - which violates the rule of law».
