"My action is due to the total inadequacy that incredibly still persists in certain institutions, such as workhouses, which should aim to re-socialize and reintegrate people through work," but which "in reality are a holding tank for those with psychiatric problems and who have no room in the residences to carry out security measures."
Thus Elia Del Grande , the 50-year-old from Cadrezzate (Varese) who killed his family in 1998 and who in recent days, after serving over 25 years in prison and being sent to a workhouse in Emilia, has gone missing and is therefore now a wanted man.
Del Grande sent by email u na letter to the local newspaper Varese News, to explain the reasons for his departure.
According to rumours reported by Resto del Carlino, it would be found in a secret location together with his partner, a woman of Sardinian origin , who had visited him shortly before his escape and for this reason the searches were immediately concentrated on the island , where rigorous controls continue in the ports and airports.
"I found myself," Del Grande continues, "dealing every day with people with serious psychiatric illnesses . The therapy, clearly psychotropic drugs, is administered in massive doses to anyone without any problems. The existing work environment is identical to that of prison regimes.
