BOLZANO. In the early afternoon of Wednesday, two men from the Talvera side approached the perimeter walls of the prison on Via Dante, just when the inmates were in the external courtyard of the institute.
One of the two threw a package containing 38 grams of hashish, which was promptly collected and seized by a prison police officer, before the inmates (including the recipients of the delivery) noticed it.
Law enforcement is working to reconstruct the exact dynamics and identify the men who attempted to introduce drugs into the prison.
A similar episode is said to have occurred on June 28, and in that case too the package was collected thanks to the timely intervention of the Penitentiary Police, employed as sentries.
“I believe that the episodes in question, namely the attempts to illegally introduce packages containing narcotics, once again bring to the forefront the sensitivity of the issue of security in prison”, underlines the director Giovangiuseppe Monti, “The need for external support from other police forces is unavoidable, with the strengthening of external surveillance around the prison, at least in strategic points – at least the most vulnerable ones such as the walks on the Talvera side”.
“Only the timely intervention of the penitentiary police staff, to whom I extend my thanks, in particular the sentry on duty, averted the danger. The staff is understaffed and increasingly worn out by very stressful shifts, without respite for months. However, we continue, working with our heads down, with passion”, added Monti in conclusion.
