Uta prison, deputy director attacked by an inmate and saved by officers

Another attack in Uta prison. This time the victim was the deputy director, saved only by the prompt intervention of the Penitentiary Police officers. The news was given by the USPP union which denounces: «For several months there has been a request for the removal of the prisoner who was subjected to a particular regime due to his behavior», underlines the deputy regional secretary of the USPP, Fabrizio Floris. "However, the offices above the management never intervened."

The Penitentiary Police union is worried «about the high number of problematic inmates who come from all over the peninsula as if Uta were the flagship of the institutions. The staff is exhausted and can only count on the support of the deputy director who was the victim of the attack. We are evaluating possible protest actions."
