New violent incident in Catalan prisons.
VGA, an inmate at the Puig de les Basses prison, located in Figueres, attacked a prison officer this Saturday morning, biting his neck.
According to the Department of Justice, the prisoner was upset because he could not find the sneakers that he himself had washed and left on Friday in the patio to dry.
The official approached and, unexpectedly, this inmate "without saying a word" bit him hard on the neck despite the fact that "he was not interacting with him."
As a result of the attack, the official fell to the ground and hit his head.
As a result of the attack, the official was transferred first to the Figueres hospital and then to the Vall d'Hebron "for more specialized care."
However, union sources point to the seriousness of the injuries and the loss of tissue and blood of the victim due to the depth of the wound after the bite, since a piece of meat was ripped from the neck.
That's why you'll need surgery.
Faced with this new aggression, the CSIF and Acaip unions, together with the Marea Blava prison workers' platform, have called 20-minute strikes in all prisons this Sunday and Monday.
The stoppages will be at 8 in the morning when the morning count of inmates is done, so opening cells, breakfast and medication are delayed.
The aggressor inmate is serving a sentence for two causes of attack against the authority and a third for breaking the sentence.
His departure was scheduled for a year from now.
After the attack he is admitted to the isolation unit and in the next few hours he will be transferred to another prison,
Justice will denounce the attack before the court and assures that "it deeply regrets the aggression and transfers all its support to the prison worker and his family. Likewise, it offers the legal support that he needs."
