An "extraordinary" meeting of the Chamber of Deputies , "as required by the Constitution in Article 62," has been called to discuss the arrival of maximum-security prisoners (class 41bis) in Sardinian prisons. This request was made by Irene Testa, regional guarantor for persons deprived of their personal liberty.
"For several weeks now, we've been witnessing a series of back-and-forths between those who maintain that three Sardinian prisons will be converted exclusively to 41-bis facilities and those who maintain that there is no official document attesting to this," he observes. "Both sides, however, agree that this is unacceptable. Amid this terrible confusion that is creating confusion among the population and professionals, it's impossible not to recognize that, thanks to the 41-bis issue, Sardinian politics has now shed significant light on the condition of prisons on the island ."
