A prison police officer was struck in the face by a detainee at the Fuorni prison in Salerno while notifying the detainee of an administrative measure, according to a report in Il Mattino's Salerno section.
The officer received a prognosis of seven days following the blow. Neither the officer nor the detainee is identified in the reporting available for this article, and the exact date and time of the assault were not stated.
The episode was reported by SAPPE representatives Tiziana Guacci and Marianna Argenio, who called for disciplinary action and asked that a transfer of the detainee be considered.
The same report refers to previous incidents at the facility and to claims of overcrowding and staff shortages. Those figures and earlier episodes were presented in the original article and were not independently corroborated in the research for this piece. No official statement from prison authorities or prosecutors was available, and it is not established whether disciplinary or transfer procedures were subsequently opened or completed.
