« A Christmas of aggression has just ended in the Uta prison where yet another episode against the staff has occurred».
The complaint comes from the Autonomous Union of Penitentiary Police . "On the evening of December 25 - explains the regional secretary of Sappe, Luca Fais - a foreign prisoner began to self-harm with a razor blade in protest. To save him, the police had to intervene in such a way as to avoid worsening the already critical situation, but the man attacked them: one policeman even had to seek medical attention because he was injured by a coffee maker used by the attacker".
According to Fais, there are " 250 prisoners present in excess of the regulatory number : that is, 500 prisoners against the 760 present. The management of the institute is now adrift and the staff feels abandoned to itself ."
Just in the last few days, on the subject of aggression and violence in Uta, the UilPa and Uspp unions had addressed a letter directly to Minister Nordio .
