An inmate escaped late yesterday morning from the Is Arenas penal colony in Arbus and was captured during the night.
Around thirty prison police officers, some off duty, reports the Fns Cisl, which reconstructed the episode, "immediately activated the search operations, which continued non-stop until late evening with the support of the Mounted Unit."
The intervention of a prison officer was crucial. While returning home to Guspini after his shift, he noticed a man acting suspiciously and trying to hide when he saw the car's headlights.
The man, "with great composure, professional intuition, and a keen sense of duty, after securing himself and immediately alerting his colleagues, managed to stop the fugitive despite his attempted escape and the resistance he put up."
The union calls on the prison administration to "formally recognize the commitment, dedication, and courage demonstrated by the staff who participated in the search and arrest operations, with particular attention to the colleague responsible for the arrest."
