Prisoner tries to escape from Cagliari hospital by attacking police officers with blunt objects and even a small table, used as a battering ram.
An episode of "unheard-of violence", denounces the Uil union, " resolved only thanks to the promptness and courage of the prison police officers, aided by colleagues who were guarding another inmate in the next room ".
The acronym speaks of "moments of extreme tension": "It is essential to underline that the intervention of the agents also averted dangers for the other patients present in the hospital - explains the Uil - The police officers, despite having suffered contusions and abrasions that required going to the emergency room, stoically completed their shift. This latest, alarming episode does nothing but reiterate the urgent need to deliver and make operational the hospital detention ward, an essential structure to guarantee the safety of the hospitalization of prisoners ".
In mid-July, the union announces, a joint inspection with the superintendent of the penitentiary administration is planned to evaluate any adaptation work before delivery. For the Uil, however, "it is essential to anticipate the times, since the current situation is unsustainable. The penitentiary police personnel of the Cagliari department are currently ensuring the simultaneous guarding of five inmates in different external hospitals, a condition bordering on madness".
