Attempted Suicide in Avellino Prison Averted by Quick-Acting Officers

A Neapolitan inmate attempted to take his own life inside the Avellino prison. The news came from Sappe. The tragedy was averted thanks to the timely intervention of the Penitentiary Police officers who freed the inmate from the noose made from a rope attached to the bars of the courtyard. Just yesterday, a few hours before the incident, the same inmate had asked to see a psychiatrist, a figure that is missing in the Irpinia prison. During the conversation with the health workers, he became agitated, took possession of a fire extinguisher, wreaked havoc in the infirmary department, and then attempted suicide during the walk hour. The inmate was then urgently transferred to the 'Moscati' hospital in Avellino.
