The majority prison union

Acaip has gathered this morning in Cuenca to demand more security in the prisons

and that the protocol against

attacks

on prison officials

be complied

with.

The protests were held after the

attack

by a

very dangerous

inmate

on a

head

of the Cuenca prison

service

last Wednesday.

Simultaneously, workers from Penitentiary Institutions throughout the country have also gathered at the doors of their respective centers to express their solidarity with the attacked comrade.

The inmate, according to the union, has starred in several violent acts in prison, one of them in Villena in which he had to be reduced by three officials and for which the General Secretariat of Penitentiary Institutions has opened an investigation.

On Thursday afternoon, this inmate had broken all the glass in his cell. To the relief of officials, he barricaded himself in the bathroom, for which the head of services had to go accompanied by three officials, during the intervention, the inmate jumped from the toilet over the officials with a glass in his hand to attack the head of services. "He cut his neck, a few millimeters from the jugular, causing him a very bleeding wound, which was valued at first by the nurse on duty but, given the gravity, he was transferred to the Recoletas hospital in Cuenca, and was later referred to the Hospital. General to be cared for by a surgeon due to the delicate nature of the wound, "state prison sources.

The inmate entered the Cuenca prison on the 22nd, accused of a crime of sexual assault in Tarancón, a fact that he had committed a few days after having been released on probation and detaching himself from the telematic bracelet that had been installed for his control.

Upon admission, the management of the center was warned of the inmate's dangerousness "without taking additional measures or conducting a special and direct drive urgently to a prison more in line with his profile."

For this reason, it was the heads of services who took the precaution that, whenever it was necessary to intervene with the inmate, there were a minimum of two officials.

"We must highlight the personnel problems that the center of Cuenca has, and the shortage of officials in the daily service, which makes this measure difficult; as an example, on Friday, when the admission took place, it was attended only by the chief service staff and a trainee. Furthermore, when the events occurred, there was no doctor in the center, which implies a greater risk, due to the lack of attention to the aggressor, and the impossibility of emergency medical attention to the injured official " , they indicate.
