A woman is taken away, committed suicide, hanging himself in the district prison female Rebibbia, in Rome, where it was held because accused of murder. To give the news is the Sappe, Sindacato autonomo di Polizia penitenziaria. “The woman has committed suicide in his cell this morning, hanging himself. The agent service has realized what happened and gave the alarm – as reported by Maurizio Sum, the national secretary of the Sappe for Lazio, Unfortunately, were in vain attempts to rescue to revive her, even with the help of other colleagues and of the nursing staff. You reject the current state the reasons which have led the held to bring the insane gesture”.
“This is the fifth suicide in the jail, an inmate from the beginning of the year, the fifth report of the secretary-general of the Sappe, Donato Capece – And confirmation as the social and human problems persist in the penitentiary, leaving isolated the personnel of penitentiary police (who unfortunately could not prevent the severe occurrence) to handle these emergency situations. Suicide is often the most common cause of death in the prisons and the solutions adopted up to now confirmed to be ineffective and therefore unnecessary. But the suicide of an inmate represents a strong stressors for the police personnel and the other prisoners. For these reasons, a program of suicide prevention and the organisation of a service of effective intervention measures are useful not only for prisoners but also for the whole institute”.
“In the past 20 years, women and men of the prison Police have foiled, in the prisons of the Country, more than 18 thousand attempted suicides, and prevented nearly 133mila acts of self-harm could have dire consequences – remember the leader of the union – The objective fact is that the situation in the prisons remains alarming. And 5 suicides in 22 days in prison must do to seriously reflect on: the other that an emergency exceeded!”.
