Violent assault in the Oristano prison: four officers beaten by high security prisoners

Violent attack in the Oristano prison: some inmates of the High Security circuit beat up four officers, who ended up in hospital.

According to what has been reconstructed, during the return from the courtyard , the prisoners refused to return to their cells . The agents tried to stop them and mediate but they were brutally beaten and hospitalized for tests.

«It is - comments the general secretary of the Uil Pa Penitentiary Police Michele Cireddu - the umpteenth aggression suffered by our Policemen but this episode is more worrying because the detainees perpetrators belonged to the High Security circuit. In unsuspecting times we had listed a series of anomalies within the Oristano Institute, in a note addressed to the Management, the Superintendent and the Head of the Department and, despite a recent departmental inspection, the Institute presents various criticalities that are not yet been resolved ".
«We continue to repeat – he continues – that the penitentiary administration must urgently be re-founded, the agents must be equipped with tools and means to face and prevent attacks . We are not reassured by Minister Nordio's recent statements on the provision of an article which provides for an aggravating circumstance for the attacks suffered by the Agents, we want the attacks to stop immediately, we don't know what to do with the words of circumstance".
