“Nothing justifies violence against prisoners. Those who commit crimes must pay for them.”

Whatever the conditions in prison, “this in no way justifies the violence against the prison police and the kidnapping of health workers” and “what happened in the Bari prison, where an officer was attacked while trying to stop four prisoners who had attacked the infirmary and held a nurse hostage for an hour, is of unprecedented gravity.” This is what the Forza Italia senator and vice president of the Senate said. Licia Ronzulli“We are all concerned about prison overcrowding, but we must also be concerned about the serious and severe shortage of staff, those who are on the front line and who take risks every day to maintain order in prisons,” she stressed.

In the next few days, the Deputy Minister Sisto“Together with other parliamentarians of Forza Italia Puglia, they will go in person to inspect the real situation in the Bari prison,” said the Forza Italia senator. “In Bari alone, almost 450 officers would be needed and there are only 220, so less than half. We must never forget that on one side there is justice and on the other there are those who have broken the law, as happened also last night in the Bari prison. Therefore, it is fine to raise the issue, but let's do it with the clear understanding that those who commit crimes must pay for it, with no shortcuts that take them out of prison and thus negate the certainty of punishment. The uprisings of criminals will certainly not influence the choices of this government regarding justice,” concluded Ronzulli.
