Not counted, perhaps. But there were all the signs of a danger of escaping from the "maximum security" prison of Badu 'e Carros, in Nuoro. A risk that in recent days has materialized with the spectacular escape of the boss of the Apulian underworld, Marco Raduano ( HERE THE NEWS ).
The complaints of the unions of the penitentiary police are in the documents, which complained of shortages of personnel and in the security systems. The prison management document is also circulating, which called for the removal of the agent manager, Manuela Cojana, who had denounced staff shortages and structural inefficiencies. Your mandate ended, and you underwent proceedings for other disciplinary events, which resulted in criminal investigations.
The appeals and requests for intervention by the agents' representatives seem not to have been accepted.
«It seems that now everyone is falling from the clouds», declares Michele Cireddu, general secretary of the UilPa- Sardinia Prison Police, «he pretends not to be aware of the shortage of 50 agents compared to the expected workforce and of the security principals: very important , but unguarded".
Six units were to be used in each shift on the boundary wall climbed over by Raduano, "when it went well there was only one", says the trade unionist, "a self-assembled patrol was also planned, but it was hardly used". Not only that: the control room "was unmanned in the evening and at night". The escaped prisoner, who was employed in the library, observed the dynamics for months. And he knew there were cameras, «but it's not like there was a sleeping agent in charge of control. It just wasn't there."
The complaints of the unions of the penitentiary police are in the documents, which complained of shortages of personnel and in the security systems. And black on white there is also the provision with which the prison administration department for Sardinia, in 2021, asked for the removal of the then head of the agents of the Nuorese prison, Commissioner Manuela Cojana: she had denounced distortions, the staff scarce and structural problems, such as the age of the anti-climb system, which greatly favored Raduano.
For this she had come into conflict with the prison management. In the end, the "mismanagement of the institute" was contested, reads the report, drawn up after sending a report to the Nuoro prosecutor's office. The manager had been classified as "unsuitable to carry out the task".
