" We are literally caged, like in a chicken coop . Get us out of this nightmare ." This desperate appeal to Italian institutions, made to the microphones of Tg2, is that of Gaetano Mirabella Costa , the Italian detained in the center for irregular migrants, known as Alligator Alcatraz .

He 's been in the center for eight days . "I don't have access to a lawyer or even a judge," adds the 45-year-old Sicilian man, who complains: "There are 32 of us in a cage, the bathrooms are open, everyone can see you."

His mother, Rosanna Mirabella Costa, also told Tg2 that the man had been brought to court "with chains on his feet and chains on his hands ."
