A few words to let you know what’s going on in the AS2 unit of the prison of Ferrara.
No will/intention to feed the ferocious appetite of victimization’s cultists or anti-prison experts in view of the latest prisoners’ lament.
On Friday Alfredo [Cospito] was subjected to the judgement of the prison little tribunal, following a report issued a few nights earlier for having insulted a guard who had turned to one of us, Graziano [Mazzarelli], in a disrespectful and provocative fashion. Graziano was guilty of asking the disgusting man to turn the volume down. For the record, all this happened after midnight. Besides causing him lose the 45 days of earlier release, the ‘sentence’ implied that Alfredo was immediately put in solitary confinement, or rather, as they say, excluded from all social activities (exercise yard, sociality, gym and football pitch). As soon as news spread in the unit, after a short discussion, we started making noise and banging at the bars. Our demand is simple: we want Alfredo back to the unit. In the space of a few minutes several inspectors turned out, and to them we reiterate our demand. After some useless chatting they went away and promised us the greatest honour (for them): ‘On Monday you’ll see the head officer’ (the dickhead!)
As it looked like they hadn’t understood what we had said, perhaps because of the excited tone, about an hour later we set for more banging and finished off the day banging at the stroke of midnight. In the early afternoon today we gave the bars more shaking, tomorrow we’ll see…
For the moment we ‘achieved’ the suspension of sociality (‘until ordered otherwise’) at lunch time and in the afternoon, but Alfred still doesn’t show up…
We know he’s doing well and he doesn’t give a shit about their punishment, just as we don’t give a shit about their petty blackmails and unwanted concessions.
We are headstrong and will continue to demonstrate our vicinity and complicity with Alfredo.
That’s all, we’ll keep you updated!
