«Complaints go unheeded and the situation is always critical, especially due to the lack of staff and unhealthy workplaces» this is the summary of the opinion expressed by the delegation of the union of penitentiary police unions (USPP) led by president Giuseppe Moretti who arrived in Sardinia for a three-day meetings which saw him visit the Isili workhouse yesterday and Mamone's tomorrow for a focus also on the condition of what should be structures with an advanced resocialization program.
«After Marco Raduano's sensational escape, nothing seems to have changed in Nuoro», comments Alessandro Cara, USPP Sardinia regional secretary (also in the delegation), who adds: «In Badu 'e Carros the institute's security system needed to be put back on track with the allocation of adequate funds, a security that is based exclusively on the fame of when the institute had 50% more staff. Even with respect to the surrounding wall, there are inexplicable delays in making it safe, which is currently unusable."
Due to the lack of staff, the outside of the Nuoro prison has been patrolled by the army for a few weeks. President Moretti underlines that the staffing plan lacks a considerable number of superintendents and inspectors but specifies that «even among the agents and assistants the number of units envisaged by the 2017 Ministerial Decree are insufficient also because inexplicably they also include the units serving in section 41bis seconded in Gom (mobile operational group)", today the staff holiday plan is also at risk. While there is nothing to complain about the renovated pavilion and the new pavilion, one critical issue among others is determined by the structural inadequacy of the third section where the staff work in an unhealthy environment and with difficulty in maintaining the safety and correct control of the inmates . "It is urgent to review its use if not proceed with closure because it is not dignified even for the prisoners themselves." The USPP will draw up a report on what has been ascertained to the Dap and to the undersecretary Andrea Delmastro, with the union ready to adopt initiatives including public protest if the stratified critical issues that weigh on the shoulders of the few units in service in Badu 'e Carros are not addressed. "If there are no urgent and quick interventions - concludes Cara - the army could also be involved within the institute".
