Emergency in Bancali prison. Last night two groups of inmates from the “High Security” circuit clashed violently.

"They threatened to kill each other and shouted all sorts of things, even throwing themselves at each other with rudimentary devices made with gas canisters," explains Antonio Cannas, national delegate for Sardinia of the Autonomous Union of Penitentiary Police.

"We have lived through hours of great tension, with the Blue Berets of the Corps ready to manage the serious event with professionalism and selflessness. Of course, it is incredible that the General Surveillance of the prison was entrusted to an Assistant Chief Coordinator, when other figures should be assigned to this delicate task..."

The secretary general of Sappe Donato Capece asks the Department again to strengthen the staff of the penitentiary police of the regional departments, especially inspectors and superintendents who are lacking in Bancali, but also to provide the personnel of the Corps with non-lethal protection and guarantee tools such as "flash balls" and "bola wraps".
