Lettre depuis la prison de Terni du 11 novembre 2005 (en anglais)

First of all, as usual, I greet everybody.

I’m writing to call your attention on a few problems that concern myself and, consequently, all the prisoners.

I was moved to the prison in Terni on November 10.

This is not the first time that I’m located in this prison, as requested by the Italian Ministry of Justice in order for me to be able to attend the hearings in the Viterbo court, which has condemned me. The same Ministry decides, without any possibility of appeal, about the prisoners who, like me, are EIV prisoners (Elevato Indice di Vigilanza or prisoners under strict surveillance), AS prisoners (Alta Sorveglianza or high surveillance prisoners), and those who were convicted of mafia crimes.

The restrictions that the EIV category prisoners are inflicted are : single cell, no chance of communicating with other prisoners unless they are also EIV prisoners, and no right to any benefits apart from the possibility of parole. The reason for these restrictions is due to security measures inflicted not only to those who are considered members of subversive associations, but also to those who were arrested for ‘common crimes’ but are considered particularly dangerous, and those who were arrested for Mafia crimes (article 41bis). This section is also used as an observatory to study the behaviour of the prisoners.

I wrote this preamble as I cannot explain why I was moved in this prison, where there exists the 41bis section but not the EIV section. As a result, I’m compelled to stay in total isolation in a punishment section (where prisoners in punishment are temporary collocated). Such aberration normally lasts a few days (the last time I was here I stayed 16 days), and one manages to resist only for having the chance of being visited by relatives. This time, however, my stay here will be much longer (the trial for the operation ‘Cervantes’ will be held on November 30 and the hearings in Viterbo will take place in December) ; that is why I decided that something must be done. As I’m considered a dangerous individual, I should be collocated in an EIV section. No logistical problem can be used as an excuse : in the prison in Spoleto, in fact, which is only 20 kilometres from Terni, there exists an EIV section.

I’m officially destined to the prison in Turin, and I start thinking that they put me here because of the hearings in Viterbo. So a fundamental right as the one to be present to the hearings is being swapped for an almost unbearable collocation.

Here is the real face of prison : a place where people are locked up and are inflicted the most humiliating oppression by the jailers and the prison authorities. In this section you can’t talk about life, it is just surviving. There are 2 separated rows made by 7 cells each, all of them collocated on the same side. Social and human relationships are inexistent, and you can only see guards. I go out of the cell for two hours a day in a tiny space 2 meters per 5. Furthermore, the heating is still off even if it’s very damp and cold. As a consequence, there exits quite a desperate living situation. Last time I was here, on October, I witnessed a few prisoners self-injuring quite seriously and two jailers beating a prisoner. Here you feel like being totally harmless ; the guards are arrogant and rude when answering the prisoners’ requests (when they decide to answer). It also happened that a guard approached the cell of a detainee who had seriously cut himself, just to make sure of what had occurred and to reassure the detainee that his requests will be satisfied if he wouldn’t cut himself any more. It might sound surrealistic, yet it’s normality here. As soon as I arrived yesterday, I noticed that a cell was completely burnt, certainly because a mattress had been set to fire.

If you need anything, even a broom or a bucket to clean, you have to be lucky enough that the guard on duty is in a good mood. This is the isolation regime in Terni.

I would therefore like to put forward a proposal : that initiatives of counter-information about living conditions in prison are organised, with the final goal of making people aware of what a big disgrace prison is and of the necessity to put an end to its existence.

Stop the torture of isolation. Stop the EIV, AS and 41bis regimes. Stop sending prisoners so far away from their families. Stop prison. Let’s spread the struggle against this aberrant institution.

From the concentration camp in Terni,

Titto.
